A typical game among these

≈ 3k–4k copies

≈ $8k–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~100 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

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

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Puzzle (3 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: B100X - Auto Dungeon RPG at ≈ 24k–39k copies. 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 49 reviews in their first month; the range was 19 to 470.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Puzzle (3 of 8) and Card Game (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Strategy RPG, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry RPG + Casual + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2018 to 2026, 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
