Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 8k–54k
best case 2.3M (Eternal Return)
Games like Demigod

A typical game among these

≈ 8k–54k copies

from ~621 reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Eternal Return at ≈ 1.7M–2.8M copies. 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 134 reviews in their first month; the range was 32 to 45k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share MOBA (5 of 8) and Card Battler (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Trading Card Game + Turn-Based Tactics. The breakout hits carry PvP + Free to Play + PvE; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2017 to 2023, and none of them 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
