9 Kings

Overview

9 Kings is a 2025 RPG game developed by Sad Socket and published by Hooded Horse. On Steam it has gathered 20,036 player reviews, 93% of them positive, which counts as a very positive reception among indie titles in the RPG category. The game is available on mac, windows, and launched at $20. The pairing of developer Sad Socket with publisher Hooded Horse is one of the studio-publisher relationships indielist tracks, letting players find comparable games and letting developers and investors study how RPG projects reach the market. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 721,000 to 1.7 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, 9 Kings can be compared against similar RPG titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for 9 Kings at roughly 721,000 to 1.7 million copies, with a median around 1.2 million, derived from its 20,036 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $13.7M 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 9 Kings can compare it on indielist against semantically similar RPG titles such as Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend, For The King, DICEOMANCER, Chrono Ark, ranked by shared tags and genre rather than by ad spend. On the developer side, Sad Socket's other releases and Hooded Horse's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where 9 Kings 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 9 Kings page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next RPG 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.
