≈ 1k–2k copies

≈ $3k–$5k after Steam's cut

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Shooter (5 of 8) and 2D Fighter (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Shoot 'Em Up. The breakout hits carry Shoot 'Em Up + Flight + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2009 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).
