How many copies did Deadlokk sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 174–282
$430–$1k after Steam's cut $782–$2k before Steam's cut
from 7 reviews (7 user reviews)
Only 7 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 Deadlokk and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Deadlokk's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 787–2k
best case 18k (Star Survivor)
Games like Deadlokk

A typical game among these

≈ 787–2k copies

≈ $1k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~35 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.

Best case: Star Survivor at ≈ 14k–23k copies, ≈ $19k–$52k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
The games that made it here had under 494 reviews in their first month.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Top-Down Shooter (7 of 8) and Action Roguelike (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Casual + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
