from 86 reviews (Very Positive)

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

The middle of these games

≈ 773–3k copies

≈ $1k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~27 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.

Best case: Black Future '88 at ≈ 22k–35k copies, ≈ $119k–$319k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 20 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 5 to 247.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Cyberpunk (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Cyberpunk, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Cyberpunk + Adventure + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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).
