Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 179k–339k
best case 8.9M (Darkest Dungeon®)
Games like Devil Spire

A typical game among these

≈ 179k–339k copies

≈ $1.6M–$3.0M after Steam's cut

from ~7k 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: Darkest Dungeon® at ≈ 6.8M–11.0M copies, ≈ $46.5M–$125.1M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 761 to 8k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Dungeon Crawler (7 of 8) and Rogue-lite (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Turn-Based Combat + Dark Fantasy, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Turn-Based Combat + Lovecraftian + Dark Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
