A typical game among these

≈ 602–2k copies

≈ $1k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~32 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.

Best case: Paladin's Oath at ≈ 3k–6k copies, ≈ $6k–$15k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
The games that made it here had under 20 reviews in their first month.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Board Game (7 of 8) and Tabletop (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Board Game + Strategy RPG, priced around $6.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
