The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Souls-like (8 of 8) and Action RPG (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mythology + Action RPG, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Mythology + Story Rich + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
