Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Games like Battlerite

A typical game among these

≈ 2.7M–5.9M copies

≈ $4.9M after Steam's cut

from ~110k reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: SMITE® at ≈ 5.9M–9.5M copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 57 reviews in their first month; the range was 51 to 33k.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share MOBA (6 of 8) and Arena Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with MOBA + Third Person.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
