How many copies did Dungeon Alchemist sell?

Q: How many copies did Dungeon Alchemist sell?

98k to 159k copies, based on its 4k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 98k–159k; $1.2M–$3.2M after Steam's cut $2.2M–$5.0M before Steam's cut; from 4k reviews (Very Positive)

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Dungeon Alchemist and predicted how it would do from its 7 similar games. Every figure here, including Dungeon Alchemist's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 928–3k

best case 7k (Game Master Engine)

Games like Dungeon Alchemist

A typical game among these

≈ 928–3k copies

≈ $1k–$13k after Steam's cut

from ~50 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 7 similar games are hits.

Best case: Game Master Engine at ≈ 5k–8k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 17 reviews in their first month; the range was 6 to 42.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Tabletop (5 of 7) and Dungeons & Dragons (4 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dungeons & Dragons + Level Editor.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 7 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).
