3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Bullet Hell (4 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: Astebreed: Definitive Edition at ≈ 93k–151k copies, ≈ $510k–$1.4M after Steam's cut.

About half the games that made it here had over 26 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 766.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

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).
