Games like Primordian

A typical game among these

≈ 190k–294k copies

≈ $1.7M–$2.6M after Steam's cut

from ~7k 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: Blade and Sorcery at ≈ 1.5M–2.5M copies, ≈ $12.7M–$34.2M 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 594 reviews in their first month; the range was 307 to 49k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Gore (8 of 8) and Violent (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Swordplay, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Swordplay + Moddable + Magic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2019 to 2025, and 2 of the 7 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
