Estimated copies sold
≈ 74–121
$81–$220 after Steam's cut $148–$338 before Steam's cut
from 3 reviews (3 user reviews)
Only 3 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

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 Zombie's Cool and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Zombie's Cool's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

A typical game among these

≈ 316k–568k copies

≈ $1.5M–$2.9M after Steam's cut

from ~10k 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 6k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 42k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Shooter (5 of 8) and FPS (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rogue-like + Action Roguelike, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Rogue-like + Singleplayer + Action Roguelike; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 to 2023, and none of them 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
