# Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

> ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title.

**Measured on 2026-08-27 11:12 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes.

- Steam appid: 4075620
- Developer: Crux Games
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Indie · List price: $9.99
- Deal grade: A (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $17.3k to $26.0k per month (mid $21.7k)
- Opportunity score: $28.2k/month at x1.30 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 9.2k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $31.0k
- Review sentiment: 96% positive across 324 reviews (289 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 258.7 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 0 months ago
- Store page localized in only 1 language(s)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $39.3k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $34.2k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $31.0k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $21.7k |

## Estimated acquisition range

$519.9k to $1.0M (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $260.0k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 90% (game NOT localized in this language)
- koreana: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). 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.
