Lv Down RPG

Lv Down RPG is a turn-based roguelite RPG built around an inverted progression system. Rather than gaining levels through combat, the player character loses a level after each victory, and defeat results in a larger level loss. Lower levels mean lower stats, and reaching Level 0 ends the run. Progress therefore depends on how the player combines equipment, skills and tactics rather than on accumulating strength.

The game offers three classes. The Warrior is described as having high survivability and a balanced combat style, the Assassin focuses on poison, marks and chained attacks, and the Mage combines elements to produce fusion magic. Players explore a range of regions and dungeons, where monsters become stronger at night, and can encounter rare maps, hidden events, puzzles and boss battles. Equipment and skills collected during a run are retained after a game over, allowing builds to be assembled across multiple attempts.

A narrative thread runs through the game, raising questions about why the character grows weaker with each battle, what became of a previous hero, and what the kingdom is concealing. These are explored through NPC stories and records scattered around the world. At the time of writing, the game has three user reviews on Steam.
