Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 6.3M–9.0M

Games like Low Magic Age

A typical game among these

≈ 6.3M–9.0M copies

≈ $60.1M–$148.0M after Steam's cut

from ~204k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Baldur's Gate 3 at ≈ 21.3M–34.6M copies, ≈ $351.5M–$945.2M 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 75k reviews in their first month; the range was 11k to 268k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Turn-Based Combat (5 of 8) and Story Rich (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Character Customization + Choices Matter, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Choices Matter + Dungeons & Dragons + Character Customization; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2025, and 1 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
