A gameplay mechanic that involves a character advancing to a new level. A level can be described as a stat used in video games to track a player's experience or progression towards a specific task, and is generally perceived as an indication of achievement. A level up is typically achieved by performing some repetitive task, like fighting enemies or completing objectives, to achieve experience. Upon leveling up, a character may receive additional stats, abilities, and/or other perks. Generally, the higher the level something is, the stronger/more powerful that something is.

More rarely, abilities or objects (such as weapons and armor) have levels, and these levels may increase with the usage of them. Not all upgrade systems will use levels, and this phenomenon may be better described as upgrades.
