Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 158–819

The Bullet Hell lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 228 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Action Roguelike, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Action Roguelike; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2024. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
