Our take on Thousand Floors
The defining mechanic is floor-targeted summoning: tapping a level sends new climbers there, while automatic allies and capped walkways turn tower placement into the central progression decision.
What is Thousand Floors?
Thousand Floors is an incremental idle game set in a Chinese-inspired pagoda tower.
Tap or hold a floor to summon Tower Climbers there, while unlocked allies arrive automatically on timers. Units patrol layered pavilions, collide with creatures inspired by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and continue climbing through progressively tougher floors. Gold from battles funds stat training and mystic arts, while chests and milestone floors provide stacking relic bonuses. Floor Lockdown redirects summons away from lower levels, creating space and resource decisions around capped climbers and open ally spawns. Rebirth resets floor and arts progress but preserves relics, with the Wish-Lamp Talisman providing fresh rewards. Offline gold accumulates between sessions.
