≈ $233–$490 after Steam's cut

from ~9 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

Best case: Zolg at ≈ 9k–15k copies, ≈ $3k–$7k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 7 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Top-Down Shooter (8 of 8) and Action-Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Top-Down Shooter, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Metroidvania + Minimalist + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 6 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
