Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 147–811
best case 7k (The Tenth Line)
Games like Fiz and the Rainbow Planet

The middle of these games

≈ 147–811 copies

≈ $338–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~13 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: The Tenth Line at ≈ 5k–9k copies, ≈ $12k–$32k 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 7 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 Side Scroller (6 of 8) and 2.5D (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with JRPG + Female Protagonist, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry JRPG + Female Protagonist + 1990's; 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
