How many copies did Limited Rescue sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 149–242
$81–$219 after Steam's cut $148–$337 before the cut
from 6 reviews (6 user reviews)
Thin evidence: 6 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 Limited Rescue out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Limited Rescue's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 366–659

The middle of these games

≈ 366–659 copies

≈ $773–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~15 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: Toy Tanks at ≈ 2k–3k copies, ≈ $5k–$13k 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 16 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4 to 31.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 4 Player Local (5 of 8) and Arena Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tanks + Arcade, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Cartoony + Tanks + Co-op Campaign; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 to 2025, and 2 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
