Games like Command Line Pilot

A typical game among these

≈ 1.0M–2.5M copies

≈ $6.5M–$7.1M after Steam's cut

from ~37k reviews

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Dota Underlords at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 17k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Turn-Based Tactics (5 of 8) and Card Battler (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Tactical.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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