Makes sense though, just 4 brothers and it hardly made it past 1.5k unlike other games they released that were just more profitable. Despite its age i 100% recommend it if you are reading this. ### 1/5 — Кто играет *2025-10-27* Что-то не кого нет 😂😂😂😂хорошая игра 😂😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — Pls *2025-09-16, version 2.1* Bro please fix the local multiplayer problem i cant play coop no ios and no android ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2025-09-05, version 2.1* BEST GAME OF ALL TIME. Freak clash of clans. Try this baby out ### 5/5 — My favourite mobile game ever *2025-08-20, version 2.1* This game is so fun, very replay-able and I’ve been coming back to it for years and years. If I could only have one game on my phone it would be this. ## Frequently asked questions about Heroes and Castles ### What is Heroes and Castles?
