Games like The Troop

A typical game among these

≈ 6k–7k copies

≈ $55k–$73k after Steam's cut

from ~193 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Panzer Corps Gold at ≈ 153k–249k copies, ≈ $1.3M–$3.4M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 96 reviews in their first month; the range was 50 to 347.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Turn-Based Strategy (7 of 8) and World War II (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Board Game + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Historical; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2023, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
