Q: How many copies did Brazen Thief sell?

198 to 322 copies, based on its 8 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 198–322; $108–$292 after Steam's cut $197–$449 before Steam's cut; from 8 reviews (8 user reviews); Only 8 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

A typical game among these

≈ 521–545 copies

≈ $863–$1k after Steam's cut

from ~16 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: Defense high at ≈ 1k–2k copies, ≈ $2k–$4k 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 11 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 Side Scroller (7 of 8) and 2D Platformer (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Combat, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Tower Defense + 3D + Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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).
