Secret Level is an adult animated anthology series created by Tim Miller for Amazon Prime Video.

The voice cast includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Laura Bailey, Heaven Hart, Keanu Reeves, Gabriel Luna, Ariana Greenblatt, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Michael Beach, Emily Swallow, and Claudia Doumit.

The series consists of fifteen animated, standalone short stories based on the following video games and franchises:[1][2][3][4] Solon, a young boy who is tattooed as preparation for sacrifice, is troubled by an overbearing voice and rescued by Mora, Tally, Luzum, and Ahokal.

The main character returns to the street vendor, presumably after killing Sean after multiple tries as shown by his elderly appearance.

Realizing this plan, XAN uploads itself into the robot being studied by the technician, gaining control of the stadium itself, and defeats the Captain.

Sergeant Metaurus acknowledges briefing of a mission to destroy a relic before donning his power armour, and reflects that he had recruited a youth who knew no fear, rather than needing it trained out of him to become a Space Marine.

He is greeted by a floating yellow sphere, Puck, who tells him he is the "Chosen" who will escape the "maze": an alien world of dangerous flora, fauna and hungry ghosts.

Deducing its most likely escape route, Global Risk is able to give chase, eventually leading to a sea port, where one of the mercenaries is gunned down.

Eventually, a mercenary finds the man, and is confronted by a Global Risk operator, but ends up giving up the briefcase, reiterating they're not the bad guys.

He engages three more pilots, who are also incredibly skilled; he disables the heavy mech with a surprise attack and barely destroys the others by collapsing a tunnel.

Rock, a humanoid creation of Light's, voices his desire to help fight, but the doctor refuses and prepares to send out Bomb Man to defeat the others.

Moved by his genuine intentions and innocence, Light agrees to let Rock fight, upgrading him with new combat armor before teleporting him to Mega City to stop the rampaging robots.

Having lost his wife, Nik desperately follows clues in search of her and utilizes warp gates that accelerate his ship to near light speed.

[1][9] The pilot who features in the Armored Core episode was the subject of media attention and speculation due to his resemblance to actor Keanu Reeves.

[10][11] Though Prime Video declined to disclose casting information at the time of the announcement, ComicBook.com reported an influx of "nearly nothing but replies about Reeves and his potential appearance in [the series]" under a post by Armored Core's social media account.

[12] IGN's Wesley Yin-Poole said that were it not really Reeves, the actor could claim a royalty payment due to the certainty of the character's likeness to his.

[13] GamesRadar+'s Ali Jones remarked that while the shot could have been "simply be an ethnically ambiguous man with similar facial hair", they noted the likeness, and doubted that Armored Core would place the image so prominently on their social media account if it were "just some random actor" and not Reeves.

[8] A video game that continues the story of the Pac-Man episode, titled Shadow Labyrinth, is scheduled for release in 2025.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Secret Level's melange of video game shorts can't help but feel like a glorified sizzle reel, but these vignettes pack a mean punch in small doses.

[18] Steven Nguyen Scaife of IGN said the show "struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology" in a 5/10 review and felt dissatisfied by the selection of the source material.

[19] Aramide Tinubu of Variety wrote that "the show acts as poorly written AI summaries of massive tales".
