Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 61k–82k
best case 281k (Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy)
The Rogue-lite lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 65k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 65k copies
≈ $458k after Steam's cut
from ~2k reviews
Best case

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

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 JRPG, priced around $11.
  • The breakout hits carry JRPG + Bullet Hell + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
