Does this actually work?

We left West of Dead out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including West of Dead's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 10k–120k
best case 28.3M (The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth)
The Rogue-like lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 64k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 64k copies
≈ $152k after Steam's cut
from ~1k reviews
Best case
≈ 28.3M copies
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth · ≈ $163.9M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it, and 1 is too small to compare.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Rogue-like, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Rogue-like + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
