Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3k–4k

Games like Magellania

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–4k copies

≈ $9k–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~114 reviews

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

2 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: 秦殇 (Prince of Qin) at ≈ 63k–102k copies, ≈ $17k–$46k 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 97 reviews in their first month; the range was 23 to 1k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action RPG (6 of 8) and Party-Based RPG (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with CRPG + Isometric, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry CRPG; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
