Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Gravity Heroes and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Gravity Heroes's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

Games like Gravity Heroes

A typical game among these

≈ 145k–330k copies

≈ $1.1M–$3.3M after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Brawlhalla at ≈ 14.2M–23.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 922 to 4k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share 2D Platformer (5 of 8) and 2D Fighter (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Fighting + 2D Fighter. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Fighting + Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2013 to 2024, and 1 of the 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
