No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Character Customization (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Paladins® at ≈ 10.5M–17.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Character Customization (4 of 8) and Fantasy (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry FPS + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.

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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
