1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is RTS (3 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Vade Retro : Exorcist at ≈ 27k–44k copies, ≈ $51k–$138k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 130 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 564.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share RTS (3 of 8) and Simulation (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Co-op, priced around $7.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
