Ninja Level Up is a classic linear style dungeon crawler role playing game. Made by the creators of the popular mobile RPG games Level Up RPG and Deimos, Ninja Level Up is designed to be quick and easy to pick up and play, the way a mobile RPG should be. Acceptable for kids and adults of all ages. The story begins 14 years ago with a young boy who is washed ashore in Japan. He is taken up by an old sensei and trained in the ways of the ninja. After he is stuck by misfortune, he must use his new ninja skills to honor his sensei and get vengeance on his enemies. Ninja Level Up was build with the dungeon crawler gameplay style in mind, and is designed from the ground up to be a quick and easy pick up and play roleplaying game that you can learn in just a few minutes time. Play it at school, work, on the bus, or while sitting in traffic (obey all traffic laws). If you like ninjas, RPG's, or were a fan of the original Level Up and Deimos games, then you are going to love Ninja Level Up! There is also a lot more story and content to come, so leave suggestions in the comments on what you think should happen next!

Dungeon Life features an infinite progression system similar to the casual/idle game genre in which the player will always be able to continue to find more and more loot and gold. As the game progresses players will unlock and be given a multitude of different things to spend their gold and loot on, whether that be new skills, upgrading weapons/armor or investing in shops in town for better deals. All the glory in the world can be just one floor deeper, time to delve into the great dungeon and claim your own!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dungeon Life at none against Ninja Level Up's 1. Dungeon Life also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). Ninja Level Up's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ninja Level Up sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dungeon Life asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dungeon Life holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeon Life has 94 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ninja Level Up's written reviews are positive against 72% of Dungeon Life's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ninja Level Up ships an update every 9 months, Dungeon Life weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
