A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

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

The middle of these games

≈ 147–195 copies

≈ $113–$413 after Steam's cut

from ~5 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Rune Break at ≈ 2k–3k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 17 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 47.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Mystery Dungeon (7 of 8) and Action Roguelike (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Precision Platformer + Mystery Dungeon, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Dungeon Crawler; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2019 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
