In the past week, only Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS earned more in Russian Steam than VLADiK Brutal.
However, the game did not make it to the global chart of Steam sales.
VLADiK Brutal was released on August 9. At the time of writing this news, the game had garnered over 2.1 thousand reviews on Steam, 89% of which are positive.
The creator of VLADiK Brutal has yet to assess the game's success. In the official group on VKontakte, he wrote that he would summarize the first results at the end of the debut month.
The developer also mentioned that there were "a lot of refunds" at the beginning of the game. He plans to partially rework the first location later to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, he intends to improve the voice acting, cutscenes, and various levels in the game "as finances come in."
