Games like Dark Deity

A typical game among these

≈ 445k–488k copies

≈ $4.0M–$8.5M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: Marvel's Midnight Suns at ≈ 609k–990k copies, ≈ $10.0M–$27.0M 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 5k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Turn-Based Strategy (8 of 8) and Tactical (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Superhero + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Superhero + Deckbuilding + Card Game; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 2 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
