Games like Guns & Fishes

A typical game among these

≈ 391–521 copies

≈ $905–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~14 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Max Payne 3 at ≈ 4.1M–6.6M copies, ≈ $22.4M–$60.2M 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 8 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 200.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Shooter (7 of 8) and Arcade (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Shooter, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 to 2024, and 1 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
