I'm glad this video still gets so many views and I'm glad all you guys enjoyed it as much as you did!
Thanks for supporting my content!
social empires, social wars, and dragon city were my favorite games back then and they all came from the same developers!
I wanna play social empires and social wars again so bad
Omggg yess there also was one with the armies with airships it really looked like these games
And then DragonCity became pay to win
Yes
Really i miss those games, i used play all the three games when I was a kid they were such fun!
Social emprie and dungeon rampage. No game will ever give me the same expirience. EVER. Truly the best there was.
We will miss it won't we
Yes indeed.
Also travians if you know that game it's not the strategie war one the other one where u work and build houses and buy stuff it was legendary
Or Indiana Jones Adventure World, this was great too
Omg dungeon rampage, i completely forgot about that treasure of a game
The soul mixer system was so much fun to use, I loved it! I used to forget about coming back to the game to get my new troop from the soul mixer, so I would come back after a month and mix 2 more and then leave for another month LOL
I also loved all of the dragons and I used to try to let 2 dragons race each other to see which one was faster 😂
Mixing different creatures until the biggest thing possible appeared on screen was a thrill
@@TheRetroDen Exactly that!
I had so much fun with this building!
YOOO, the sound of Social Empire gave me that feeling of nostalgia lmao.
Great music am i right
Social Empires, Social Wars, Pet Society, Restaurant City, Car Town, Miscrits World, Curio Quest, Dungeon Rampage, Dungeon Blitz, Monster Galaxy... i cant remember how many Facebook games accompanied me through my childhood but the lists are the one which have a special place in my heart.
Social Empires and Social Wars feels like the same game in different outfit. Their gameplay concept are basically same but units from Social Empires are from old/mythical civillization while units from Social Wars are based on modern era where gunfire and robots are a norm.
One thing interesting to know is, my daily logins back in the day are gathering resources, defeating enemies, completing daily tasks... same as what i do today in gacha games. Some rules never changed xD.
Pet Society and Restaurant City i cant remember much up until i saw their rare video gameplay somewhere. They are the very first few Facebook games that went popular and have large player base, but sadly shut down years bf4 flash player declined their services.
Car Town is my best childhood game, no doubt, i get to know most of the cars name thanks to this game. Meanwhile this game also continued my hype to learn more about cars in the future as i hoped to become an automotive engineer!
Monster Galaxy is also one of the early games available until the end of flashplayer. It is based on Pokemon, but their music and illustrations are legendary. i used to spend my time levelling up my mogas, exploring around the moga galaxy, and last but not least spent 99 starseeds just to capture Spike. Yikes, the uncanny still haunts me when i remembered it.
Sadly, the game right now is a P2E game, which i am not interested in.
Miscrits World is a game which is almost the same gameplay concept as Monster Galaxy, but Miscrits has better skill features and strategics, as well as a wonderful 2D open-world exploration feature. You get to walk around and encounter Miscrits, fight or capture them to join your team. i remember trying to memorize the real-time and locations where the specific rare Miscrits could appear to be captured, and the most memorable place in Miscrit must be the Mount Gemma as well as The Shack. Both having beautiful BGM and map illustration, as well as the spooky atmosphere carved despite it being 2D. It is one of the most detailed captcha game that you can get to play in FB.
Curio Quest is just like a placeholder for me when Miscrits is no longer available to be played, The only thing Curio Quest i found it fun to play is the illustration of the Curio and bgm, gameplay wise it is another Monster Galaxy.
Dungeon Rampage... The best action game in FB no doubt, and i believe this game has a special place in everyone who had ever played FB games bf4 getting introduced to mobile legends. really hope the original creators could bring it back in some form.
Dungeon Blitz... this is the game where i spent my most of my time grinding for legendary weapons. From the Early stage of gameplay where i have to get carried by old players to clear Dreaded Dungeon, to the time where i am the one who carry players to clear the Dreaded Dungeon while the old players are offline for centuries. It is also the last game i played in FB, bf4 flashplayer retired. i Remember chatting with so many unknown players around the world about how disappointed games like Dungeon Blitz are unavailable anymore until the closure of flashplayer.
Monster Legends and Dragon City are still available so i wont talk about them. Eventho these two are still the same game you played in FB, but the feelings are totally different now, examples being : Training Pandaken in Monster Legends and Rainbow Dragon in Dragon City, you get to use these two fellas everywhere you go, from easy to hard stages, and now...Everything has changed for better
Vintage games could never be back anyhow. I know in Github and Discord a lot of us tried to bring back these games, but deep down we know that even if they are back somehow, the feelings would never be the same as before.
I lost track of comments on this video a long time ago but this one really resonated with me as I to was a HUGE car town enjoyer and Miscrits player. Thanks a lot for the comment, really brought some memories.
That being said, there's this one game I never see thrown around in this comment section and that is Neossaurs, have you by any chance played that aswell?
@@TheRetroDen Neosaurs? YES DEFINITELY! i remembered it as you mentioned the name and i searched its playthrough on other channel. YES, i remember, i was the early player when the game first launched around 2012 i believe. it gave me a MapleStory vibes, and i used to play this game with my brother. But somehow later on we forgot this game and we had never bother to play it again. (dunno what happen, it was during my childhood time, cant remember much)
The game is fun itself as you can control your chibi dinosaur and bites around the rpg-like world, fight boss and upgrade your dinosaur's skills.
@@camera_chan I'm glad I brought back a good memory :) I'm glad to have enjoyed those games
@@TheRetroDen recalling these childhood games do makes me feel better once in awhile, thank you for what you had brought us with your content
i miss dungeon blitz
This was soo good, everyone in my class were playing it, such a great memories.
Same here.
😢😢 great memories
@@husamha6645 I feel you!
Same bro😔
1:12 that music is nostalgia 🔥
Man just hearing the music brings back memories I just remembered about this game and it was the only game I played besides the newer ones like monster legends. Memory unlocked for sure
This is pure nostalgia
I remember braking the game once or twice lol
Another nostalgic game was miscrits :(
I was an F2P player of this game before, and watching this video makes me very sad. I have reached lvl. 50 in the game, already collected all Extreme Dragons (even riders) by Soul Mixer alone. I never cheated in the game and already reached the God Isle. I was crying that time when it was deleted😢
Soul mixer is awsome i get all bahamuts with it and its free
Soul Mixer was busted
Thank you for this! Exactly the kind of video I was looking for.
Working on my own game partly inspired by Social Empires, and this'll help me remember the good times to draw inspiration from.
I completely forgot about the cemetery, and will 100% be adding that in, instead of the mechanic I was trying to figure out.
do u have a discord? instagram or anything
@@ehnsar Yeah, I plan to post devlogs on my UA-cam channel, Kinta Naomi, just haven't gotten good enough yet. As well as things to my Twitter and patron about it. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Health struggles and stuff.
I remember playing this and right before they took it down there was a building that allowed you to get units that you had to pay for.
I was cheated in this game a lot before I was a child like 6 years old and I feel very guilty. I'm so sorry everyone 🥺
You were kids guys its okay but dont forget you guys are involved about this game being shut down shame on you.
Jk xd
Ik, we were just kid back then...
I remember I stopped playing it for like half a year and when I wanted to play again it wasn't there :(
Social Empires, along with Social Wars, Dungeon Rampage, Miscrits was my childhood game. I remember to this day when I got my first dragon holy, I was so happy and hyped. I also remember when I unlocked goblins to play as. Good old times man...
social empires , dungeon rampage and social wars were my childhood games and i think tey were the best games
who agrees?
Im still playing this game today and its my favourite game
I wish i could ::)
IKR! I hope someone remakes this
How?
how are you playing bro
I wanna know how too
I Miss this games so much man
this, social wars, dragon city, monster legends and dungeon blitz…will never forget them
Social wars/social empire & that game where you play as animals fighting was amazing 🔥
I felt things when u played the theme song in the beginning
Still love that theme song
@@TheRetroDen you brought some deep memories, thank you worrior
Not only social empire, social wars,happy aquarium,pet society, car town, wild ones, crazy penguin, dungeon rampage, miscript, pet society some not because of hackers but the majority yes but some other game surbived like dragon city
Getting a Huge collection of dragons and other minion spawning troops and egg spamming missions was great
this game used to be so much fun back in middle school, and now its not even playable :(
1:19 great gadzooks the music nostalgia hitting hard!!!
Thanks for the Shoutout TheRetroDen!
My pleasure!
@@TheRetroDen I hope the game will soon be backed up, I heard people are already coding the game.
My walls are full of towers, the entrance is covered with water and lava tower. All are gods, dragon riders, and colossus.
Oh, and Chuck Norris.
@@gold9994 most beautiful thing i heard all day
how do you play?
@@linkyasascabelo i cheated back in the day.
cant forget when i insert my fb id and got infinit cash
that was sick
2011 - 2013 facebook era is undefeated fr
I hope the game will come back, it was one of the best games in my opinion
I was one of the cheaters of the game. It was so easy to use the bugs in the game.
Got all the dragons and the gods.
I want both humans and Trolls.
I had a base where I had build a wall around the whole buildable area made out of towers😂 It worked and I had never a problem defending my base
Cheating was the end game of social empires in our school men this game was cool we were batteling eacother in school. We were flaming this guy who woke up early in the morning to get some extra loot. But when we found cheat engine we felt so cool about it and did were competing who could have the most amount of troops while cheating.
I WANT THIS GAME BACK SO BAD
Ah mannnn. I remember going to the 7 eleven to buy more prepaid topups for the micro transaction.
The best game before Clash of clans I really love this game it is simple but good.
I miss my Rainbow Dragon… I want it back😢
I miss these games so bad some of the most fun on a game i ever had
I miss this so much
very good video! kinda forgot about this game.
You deserve more subscriber this videos is amazing.
I appreciate that man!
Great memories thank you social point.
I never got the Bahamud dragon :(
I had 3 green dragons 😭
Nice video man! I miss this game😭😭😭
I miss raiding people for stealing my empire bank.
Mannn crazy miss it but good video 😊🔥
missing dungeon rampage now and wid ones now
Dam I wanted to play it again
i mean the most damages ways is just cheat engine and change like wood to cash and you endless buy the starter packs over and over in a loop and well u know what happens in 1 hour you could just have a max account and well gg
Please tell me how we dowland that i miss for play
Damnnn we want the game back
It IS back
I got banned on social Empires for cheating. When I never cheated. I was like 13 had not idea what cheating would even be back then. But my account was amazing. So I beat they just looked at it and was like yep this is a cheater. Total bs.
They did the same to me bro but i was banned only in tournement and i swear i never cheated on the game and they just did that they probably just banned me because they have seen that i has 10 3 head primal dragon rider and 10 monsters xd man i loved that game
I miss Social Empire. I had meny things . Gods, GODDESS, DEVIL, dragons, Titans, Colossuss. GIANT GORILLA, GURGUNE. MENY THINKS. UNTILL THOSE CHEATERS CAME ABD HACK YHE SYSTEM ABD MADE SOUR THAT OWNER TOOK DOWN THE GAME.
Do you guys remember Miscrits ?
Do social wars
Social wars was better with the robots and having an army as big as the US
Not going to lie I used hacks to get dragons that were for sale for free
I did a lot of cheats here getting all those real money dragons titans and behamut dragons hehe
Make a video about Dungeon rampage
the best game on it's generation
For me it was Social wars.
YESS I loved the auction/bidding system
I also loved Social Wars, I remember I get a Police Mech on a daily roulette which was kind of rare iirc
Me have all dragon, 🤣🤣
Social wars
I am ashamed to admit but I also cheated this game with Cheat engine T_T
God I wish they made a comeback with better mechanisms and gameplay, I now own a gaming PC and a console but I won't ever forget where I started off as a gamer. Love you social point.
Sigh ... childhood memories, long story short. dreamed about this game last night, so that's why i'm commenting here. I was not the best player on it back then "not cheating or 50+ Op dragons etc" ... I loved the simplicity of the game.
So simple yet so charming am i right?
@@TheRetroDen yh 😂 solo, some certain warrior, that could outrun/lure the gobs at ur map etc to complete the event, wreck them with ur army/ towers, just tactic fucking around a bit ^^.
@@TheRetroDen well, theres actually someone that trying to convince Social Point to remake social empire. Right now he still on development on design and trailer perhaps but you can visit his discord and visit his youtube channel as well
ua-cam.com/channels/i8Xd5DbDvvO_ukS1vYZwQg.html
the link into his yt channel as well
My favorite was the three headed dragon
His ground attack was a guaranteed K.O I think so
I never thought this game would get a video essay. Instant subbed bro!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!
played this game every day, even spent some money on it to get some op champions... you can guess how i felt when the game shut down...
I am sorry for you my friend i have never spent money on it but i was pretty good damn player with +80 level and some good trops and i still felt sad when the game shut down...
I know the feels :(
its making me want to cry that all these good games we will never experience again :(
social empires walked so clash of clans could run
I still remember spending HOURS on merging souls and getting excited to get a new troop i don't even know exists, i also still remember getting the rainbow, galactic, electric bahamut, and some other dragon from playing dragon city monster legends and social wars hahahh
And my favorite part about the game, that epic main theme music, i swear it never gets old
such a fantastic game... i remember how much i was desperate to play this all day... unfortunately taken down :(
yaa bro my supreme bhahmuth dragon was about to come i was at golden hall and ive so many dragons and other troops my base was barely visible. You know that feeling . sorry for any typing mistake ;(
They can just bring this game back and improve anti-cheating softwares within the game. It shouldn't cost that much knowing they still have a few games running up until now. This game is a good investment.
There were some character designs on artstation for a sequel, plus take two interactive(which now owns social point) has renewed the trademark for social empires, i kinda hope they make a good sequel to this game
Omg 🙏🙏🙏
What the sequel called?
Social wars & Empires can be played again. Our childhood game is back!
wait how?
@@nafrealSocial Empires was available on some Chinese website not too long ago, everything in the game is also on Chinese, but the problem is that everything you get in that version of the game deletes after you refresh the website, that's what i heard.
@@nafrealdon't know anything about social wars tho, but you can search for it on Google.
How?
@@TRIBExJaydonthere’s a discord server for that currently
Man I remember the first time playing this game , we didn't have a pc at home and I didn't even have a Facebook account, I would ask my father for the equivalent of half a dollar and I'd go with my older brother to a place where you pay for time on the pc, the half dollar was for an hour of time, my brother let's me borrow his Facebook account to play the game "social empires" in exchange for him using the first half hour himself.
I truly loved this game and when we bought our first pc I would play it when ever I was allowed to use the pc.
And I remember the day I logged in to play it and it didn't work, at the time I was waiting for an ice and fire dragons to mix in the soulmixer, I refreshed the page frantically and when I found out that they shut down the servers I was devastated.
I hope I can play the full version someday.
Why did I start crying? This was such a trip down memory lane. This game was my childhood
So nostalgic, i remember training my dragon to have a rider. Also the chuck norris cheat😂
Used to hack this game using Cheat ENGINE something like this, i miss this game a lot, also social wars as well
I really want to play social wars so bad right now nostalgia hit me so hard
I played this game so much i was beating cheater as a legit player
The problem with this game is how Predatory and P2W. You can guess why kids loved cheating on this game and having the power that was locked behind a pay wall.
They literally put their weekly new unit outside your base doing some flashy moves in order to pump dopamine in the kids head. I remember this so vividly even as a 8 yo child.
Imagine a unit that can spew out 3 minions to take agro from the enemy while the big ones do the damage. Imagine 50 of that swarming you with 3 of each minions.
That graveyard will only be filled by some trash mobs that died a month ago of your playthrough
hello the game its back to be played thanks to presevations efforts done by a group of devevelopers (this is not the chinese version )
Not me getting emotional as soon as that Social Empires music started 😪
Opens video about childhood game
Immediately opens up to EAW
Based
I wish they will bring back Social Wars and Social Empires. I grew up playing both of those games. And I heard that the Chinese version doesn't have a Soul Mixer...
I just wish they at least adressed the games in any way shape or form
Thanks for the nostalgic trip I played this game on my PC since release back then and it was a great but I wish they had something to do with those cheaters that were hacking the game with exploits, etc. Anyways thanks for making this video.
What game is that in 1:56 i am searching it for years
It's still social empires, but maybe the game you're looking for is Shadowrun
I always used the baby dragons to win 🥺
Den, i'd like to ask what are the games you playrd in the intro And at the end! I like this kind of games and i want to probably play these
Hey there! Thanks for commenting first of all :) By order the games shown were Star Wars Empire at War, Hero Siege, Yooka Laylee the Impossible Lair and Ratchet & Clank 2016 :)
I wish they'd bring it back I miss my dragons
Nostalgia is hard on this. Y’all are some real ones for sticking around.
I would like to see a private Server or my own local Version to Play solo, would be great
Bro I remember when I was 6 and I would play this 24/7 and then everytime I lost I would cry
Before clash of clans. There was social empires
social empires and social wars... man oh man the childhood memories and that music is just oof!!!
I remembered this game, It was one of my favorite games and played as "Paknot8" and made so many videos.
its so sad i loved this game so much i want to play it again but on a save day
same, great old times
