How many copies did Legendary Tales sell?

Estimated copies sold

$825k–$2.2M after Steam's cut $1.5M–$3.4M before Steam's cut
from 3k reviews (Mostly Positive)

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 692–1k
best case 27k (Swords of Gurrah)
Games like Legendary Tales

A typical game among these

≈ 692–1k copies

≈ $6k–$11k after Steam's cut

from ~27 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Swords of Gurrah at ≈ 20k–33k copies, ≈ $84k–$226k 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 66 reviews in their first month; the range was 5 to 189.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share VR (6 of 8) and Swordplay (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with 1990's + VR, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Early Access; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
