Games like Esports Godfather

A typical game among these

≈ 51k–83k copies

≈ $342k–$758k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Moonstone Island at ≈ 126k–205k copies, ≈ $694k–$1.9M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 873 reviews in their first month; the range was 262 to 1k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Deckbuilding (5 of 8) and Card Battler (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Creature Collector + Deckbuilding, priced around $20.
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).
