Every Haypi Co Game: Kingdom, Dragon, Monster, Return of the King and What Is Left in 2026

If you are searching for Haypi Co games, you probably remember one of them very well and are hazy on the rest. The Shanghai studio behind Haypi Kingdom shipped a small but distinct catalogue between 2010 and 2014 — a kingdom MMO, a sea-trading game, a dragon shooter, a monster collector and its sequels, and one late sequel to Kingdom itself. Here is the whole list with dates, what each game was, what state it is in today, and where the players ended up.

Who Haypi Co actually was

The legal name on every App Store listing is Shanghai Haypi Computers Technology Co., Ltd.; the studio branded itself as Haypi Co., Ltd. and ran its site at haypi.com. It was an early mover on the iPhone — Haypi Kingdom launched in January 2010, before most publishers believed a phone could host a persistent multiplayer world — and by Haypi’s own account the game ranked among the Top 10 Grossing apps for three straight years, 2010 to 2012. That one hit funded everything that came after.

The studio also published a company magazine, Haypi Times, which ran for three volumes on haypi.com. It is a small detail, but a studio that prints its own magazine is a studio talking to its players, and that is how veterans remember the early years. If you want the full Kingdom story on its own, start with the Haypi Kingdom pillar page; this article is about the catalogue as a whole.

All the Haypi Co games, in order

Haypi Kingdom (January 18, 2010)

The flagship, and the reason you are here. A medieval kingdom MMO with wood, stone, iron and crop, four troop types, oases and forts to occupy, treasure hunting, a 20-title prestige ladder and alliance war across a shared server. It shipped on iPhone and iPod touch first, then iPad as Haypi Kingdom HD, Android, and even Windows Phone 7. The last build was version 3.20 on August 28, 2013, which added raids on unoccupied oases and forts. The listing is still visible on the App Store in 2026, but it was never rebuilt as a 64-bit app, so nothing running iOS 11 or later can install or launch it. Full detail on the decline is in what happened to Haypi Kingdom.

Haypi Adventure (announced January 2011)

The one most veterans have forgotten. On January 1, 2011 Haypi ran a prologue-writing competition for “our 2nd game”: Haypi Adventure, a sea exploration and seaport trading game with a trading ship and a submarine, ten starting ports and eight relic sets. The contest ran to February 10, 2011. What happened after that is genuinely unclear — I could not confirm a release date or a store listing, and the product is absent from the company site’s menu today. Treat it as announced, not shipped, unless you find a build.

Haypi Dragon (December 2011)

Submitted to the App Store on December 6, 2011, Haypi Dragon was an MMORPG with PvP and “physics-based firing” — think artillery-style shots with a dragon rather than a catapult. Version 1.3 was approved on April 5, 2012 and added a secret island named Laputa with a 20-piece treasure map to assemble. An Android edition landed on Google Play on September 4, 2012. It still appears in the product menu on haypi.com, but there is no evidence of development after 2012 and I would not expect live servers.

Haypi Monster (December 31, 2012)

Released on the last day of 2012, Haypi Monster was a creature collecting and battling game with evolution, breeding, synthesis and co-op boss fights. It was aimed at a different crowd from Kingdom — collectors rather than warlords — and it is the line the company kept investing in after Kingdom went quiet: two more Monster titles followed, and nothing more for Kingdom beyond the 2014 sequel.

Haypi Monster: The Lost Tower (October 2013)

A follow-up released on the App Store in late October 2013 (October 28 per the store data I could find). Its own press coverage mentions a “first 2014 update”, so it was maintained into at least 2014. The company site in 2026 still lists Haypi Monster / The Lost Tower as a single product line.

Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King (September 17, 2014)

This is the game people mean when they type “Haypi Kingdom 2”; there was never an app literally named that. Announced by press release on September 10, 2014 as submitted to Apple, it went live on September 17. The pitch was “although it took the old team for 2 years” — but the game changed the formula rather than remaking it: heroes and skills, six races, a ten-scene PvE campaign with hundreds of levels, Rebels, Orcs and Demons as enemies, Alliance Boxes and Alliance Techs. The last update was version 1.1.5 on December 22, 2015, which added a War Hall building. After roughly fifteen months it was abandoned, and it never recaptured the original’s crowd. The whole story is in our Return of the King retrospective.

Haypi Monster 3

The last title carrying the name. It exists on the App Store, on Google Play, and — the surprise for most veterans — on Steam, where the store page gives a release date of May 29, 2020. I could not verify the original mobile launch date, so I will not guess at it. What the Steam release tells you is that the company was still alive and shipping software years after Kingdom’s last patch; the Kingdom community simply was not the audience it was serving.

What is playable in 2026

Honest status, game by game. Where I could not confirm servers are live, I say so.

• ▸Haypi Kingdom — not playable. The app is still listed but shows Apple’s “the developer of this app needs to update it” notice, and it is 32-bit only. Haypi never posted a shutdown date; the last update was August 2013, players reported mass server closures by 2016, and from September 2017 the client could not run on current iOS. Old Android APKs circulate on mirror sites, but a strategy MMO client without a server is a login screen, and sideloading from mirrors is a malware risk. Details in can you still play Haypi Kingdom.
• ▸Haypi Kingdom: The Return of the King — still listed and Apple re-signed it for watchOS compatibility, so it may install. But a November 2020 review describes being stuck on the user-agreement page with no Agree button, with the comment that the developers “haven’t worked in years literally.” Do not expect a living game.
• ▸Haypi Dragon — listed on the company site, no sign of maintenance after 2012. Assume dead.
• ▸Haypi Adventure — no confirmed release. Nothing to play.
• ▸Haypi Monster, The Lost Tower, Haypi Monster 3 — the App Store listings still exist, and Monster 3 is also on Google Play and Steam. I did not verify whether the servers answer in 2026, so if you want to try, try Monster 3 first; it is the newest.

What haypi.com and the forum look like now

The company site is still up, with a Haypi.com copyright line and a product menu listing Haypi Monster / The Lost Tower, Haypi Dragon and Haypi Kingdom. The news page stops in 2012. The old Kingdom tutorial is still reachable and is a nice time capsule — seven icons on the top bar, workers called “slaves”, one coin equal to 2,000 money, thirty starter coins, protection until 3rd Baron or seven days. The forum now lives at aws1.haypi.mobi and still gets sporadic posts. Two Fandom wikis exist and are largely abandoned; we rebuilt the useful parts in the Haypi Kingdom wiki.

Where each community went

The Monster players had the easiest path: the sequels carried the name, so they had somewhere official to go. Dragon and Adventure never left a visible community behind; there is no active forum or wiki for either.

The Kingdom players are the odd case. What they liked was specific and, for a decade, nobody rebuilt it: crop starvation as a real stake, the 3rd Baron protection cliff, hunting oases for treasure, overloading forts with meatshields, the Try Your Luck spin, the 20-title climb from 3rd Civilian to King, and server-wide alliance wars that filled World chat every evening. The Return of the King replaced most of that with heroes and PvE levels, which is why it did not hold them. Judging by the search traffic for the old name a decade on, many never found a replacement.

That is the gap Prestige: Kingdom War was built to close. It is a ground-up rebuild, not a port of Haypi’s code and not affiliated with the company, but it keeps the formula: Wood, Stone, Iron and Crop with starvation at zero crop; Infantry, Cavalry, Archers and Catapults; Traps and Turrets on the City Wall; oases and forts to capture; Cranny, Warehouse, Market and Technology Center; the same 20-rank ladder to King; alliances with a Leader and up to five Vice-Leaders; a daily spin in the spirit of Try Your Luck; and a persistent 600×600 map. It launched on iOS on May 28, 2026 and is on Google Play too. The differences are laid out plainly in Haypi Kingdom vs Prestige: Kingdom War.

Bottom line

Haypi Co made seven games worth naming: Kingdom, Adventure, Dragon, Monster, The Lost Tower, The Return of the King and Monster 3. Only the Monster line was carried forward; Kingdom got its last patch in August 2013, its sequel was abandoned in December 2015, and the original client has been unlaunchable on current iOS since 2017. The studio itself never made a farewell post. If Kingdom was your game, the best living version of it is an independent rebuild, and the games-like-Haypi-Kingdom roundup will help you decide whether it is the right one for you.

Prestige: Kingdom War is an independent game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Haypi Co. Haypi Kingdom is referenced as the classic that inspired it.
