- Released: 2024 · Genre: Action · List price: $24.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)

## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity)

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $663 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $577 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $522 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $365 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (20 months)

5, 5, 2, 0, 1, 4, 0, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 5

## Estimated acquisition range

$8.8k to $17.5k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.4k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 73%
- russian: 14% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 5%
- french: 3%
- german: 5%

Localization gap: 14% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
