Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 102k–130k
best case 3.9M (Brotato)
Games like Rocky Mayhem

A typical game among these

≈ 102k–130k copies

≈ $302k–$637k after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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: Brotato at ≈ 3.0M–4.8M copies, ≈ $4.1M–$10.9M after Steam's cut. 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 536 to 42k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Top-Down Shooter (5 of 8) and Bullet Hell (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Arena Shooter + Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 to 2025, and 2 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
