Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

best case 3k (Digs TD)
Games like Dungeons of Dreadrock

A typical game among these

≈ 521–2k copies

≈ $960–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~30 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: Digs TD at ≈ 3k–4k copies, ≈ $14k–$39k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 14 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 57.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Puzzle (7 of 8) and Arcade (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Dwarf, priced around $20.
When they shipped
Only 1 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).
