## What is Haypi Kingdom?

Haypi is proud to introduce Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King. This new Massive Multiplayer Online Strategy War Game is the sequel to Haypi Kingdom, which was ranked amongst the Top 10 Grossing for 3 consecutive years from 2010 to 2012.

The Rebels are rising, the Orcs are causing havoc, the Demons are pulverizing things on their path, and other Lords are coveting your resources…Strife and bloodshed are seen everywhere, homeless people are living in a desperate plight. 

You, as a feudal lord, will lead an army of bravery; besiege forts; conquer lands; recruit diversified heroes, and you'll also strategize your combat formations and go on an expedition thousands of miles away. You're about to save your people from suffering and chaos; construct a new superpower from the ruins; expand your realm and protect it from invaders. 

The bugle is now blowing again from the ashes and smoke of the battlefield. There's a folklore spreading in the word of mouth: "The Legendary King/Queen shall return in a blaze of glory, expel the monsters, dominate the whole kingdom and bring back peace and joy to the world ever after."

*2024-08-16, version 1.1.5*

❤️ haypi

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work on new iPhones

*2022-08-30, version 1.1.5*

Too bad because it was a good time waster. Servers also seem to be down as we speak 😂

### 1/5 — Wont load on iOS

*2022-06-09, version 1.1.5*

Brings you to agreement with no agree or don’t agree options… leaving you stuck… have tried twice months in between and its a no go…

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2021-08-23, version 1.1.5*

Device has reached registration cap? Can’t even play the game. Pointless downloading something when you can’t even play it. Uninstalled. 1 star for wasting my time.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even start

*2021-07-12, version 1.1.5*

Tried to START the game and received a message that my device had reached the account limit. Alas I’ve never played this game before and this phone was new out of the box. I suppose the developers don’t want new players

Glad I missed out on this one because it seems from the comments there are horrendous imbalances due to built-in exploits and the developers don’t seem to want to do anything about it.

Overall, don’t bother. Go take a walk or something.

### 5/5 — Stuck

*2021-04-15, version 1.1.5*

my game is stuck

### 1/5 — Uninstalling sadly

*2021-03-23, version 1.1.5*

Can’t get past the user agreement

### 3/5 — Update needed badly

*2021-01-23, version 1.1.5*

Totally neglected by developers, update required badly and to be fair to players buying in app purchases

### 1/5 — Developers haven’t worked in years literally

*2020-11-30, version 1.1.5*

I still can’t play this game after a year, when you begin the game the user agreement pops up and you can not get past it if you have iPhone 11 Pro at least. Nothing you can do, there is no button to push or minimize anything, you get stuck on agreement page and can’t click agree. There is no agree to click... this isn’t just my phone I tried on my wife’s and my brothers phone just to see. This game is messed up and they don’t deserve a penny for it! It was a super fun game to play back in the day 6 years ago but now they don’t update it at all and don’t do anything at all... zero stars!

### 5/5 — 快TM更新

*2020-10-09, version 1.1.5*
