This project is all over the place. Their website is word salad.

If you look at their "business model" it doesn't tell you anything.

Now I could see some potential benefit in a DAO and being able to influence the production of games. But just like governance tokens, you don't want the average user to have too big of a say in the outcome of the project. Most of them only care about number go up.

They say that play to earn (P2E) is dead, but they make no mention of how they have a better solution.

ScapesMania is a project created for two distinct audiences: enthusiasts and casual gamers. The goal is to provide enthusiasts with the opportunity to benefit and influence the development of games that are played by a massive and profitable casual gaming audience.

This isn’t a complete review by any means. I can say that I tried to give this a test run but the mobile app is not available in for download in the US.

But browsing through the site, it’s rather clunky and unclear how this all works. In theory, targeting Web2 gamers onto Web3 with walleted mobile games seems like a great  idea trying to reach a mature market. But for these sort of games, I think they’ll only take off once the onboarding friction is solved, i.e. most of the blockchain stuff, including transaction double-signatures, gets pushed to the background. The explosion of mobile/web2 gaming began with quick signups and fast load times.

Until then, I’m sticking to Web3-exclusive games (and a few web2s) that are building organically targeting Web3 natives. If you build it, they will come. If you invite them with hoops to jump through and an unfamiliar login method, they will not.

An ambassador at Brickken asked me to review this project, so kudos to Bas <3.

ScapesMania is a gaming ecosystem that provides opportunities to benefit and influence the development of projects made for the casual game audience of Web2 players. I think it got a big reach and their game is available already on IOS and Google Play and feels genuine and it has a good vibe around it and wide audience.

Pros
They gathered a small community and they're the winner of
the BNB Grant 2023 and Web3 AAA game development.

The token has some good usage in their ecosystem for NFTs, staking or just holding, and earn to play of course.

What is important is the revenue stream. Their tokenomics is far from optimal as it's a lot of outside power, so their business model should be giving good revenue to the team in order to maintain income. It appears to be thought off, but not detailed so cannot really judge on this.

Cons
I personally don't like these type of presale with a quickly build up on price. Now my experience in presale is mainly in the bear market, so it could be going more bullish after launch, but I just don't enter presales anymore, prefer a fair launch. There's also a risk if it does not sell out, they cannot live up to the launch price. Lastly, 33% at TGE might still get the noticeable dump at launch. The presale is build around bonusses too, so I believe anything above presale stage 5 becomes to bag of the early presale stages.
