Games like Corrupt

A typical game among these

≈ 50k–59k copies

≈ $315k–$388k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: 9 Years of Shadows at ≈ 84k–136k copies, ≈ $460k–$1.2M 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 345 reviews in their first month; the range was 143 to 933.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action-Adventure (8 of 8) and Metroidvania (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Fantasy + Action RPG + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
