Overview
Mindustry is a 2019 Strategy game developed by AnukenDev and published by AnukenDev. On Steam it has gathered 23,402 player reviews, 96% of them positive, which counts as a overwhelmingly positive reception among indie titles in the Strategy category. The game is available on linux, mac, windows, and launched at $10. The pairing of developer AnukenDev with publisher AnukenDev is one of the studio-publisher relationships indielist tracks, letting players find comparable games and letting developers and investors study how Strategy projects reach the market. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 983,000 to 2.3 million units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, Mindustry can be compared against similar Strategy titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Mindustry at roughly 983,000 to 2.3 million copies, with a median around 1.6 million, derived from its 23,402 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $9.3M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem
Players looking for games like Mindustry can compare it on indielist against semantically similar Strategy titles such as Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD, Amazing Cultivation Simulator, ranked by shared tags and genre rather than by ad spend. On the developer side, AnukenDev's other releases and AnukenDev's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where Mindustry sits among a studio's body of work and how its publisher's portfolio performs. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Mindustry page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Strategy game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
