Games like Rogue Voltage

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–10k copies

≈ $11k–$24k after Steam's cut

from ~158 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Auto Battler (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: Dota Underlords at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M 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 55 reviews in their first month; the range was 5 to 840.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Auto Battler (3 of 8) and Automation (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Tactical. The breakout hits carry Tactical + Turn-Based Tactics + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
