Games like Warpips

A typical game among these

≈ 901k–1.4M copies

≈ $4.8M–$9.0M after Steam's cut

from ~23k 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: Minion Masters at ≈ 1.9M–3.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Base-Building (5 of 8) and Building (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Trading Card Game + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry PvE + Trading Card Game + Stylized; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
