How many copies did Deadlokk sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 174–282
$430–$1k after Steam's cut $782–$2k before the cut
from 7 reviews (7 user reviews)
Thin evidence: 7 reviews. That range swings on one or two people, so read it as a hint, not a measurement.

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

The middle of these games

≈ 787–2k copies

≈ $1k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~35 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: Star Survivor at ≈ 14k–23k copies, ≈ $19k–$52k 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 494 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 (7 of 8) and Action Roguelike (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Casual + Survival; 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).
