Games like Rogue Sentry

A typical game among these

≈ 447–10k copies

≈ $781–$49k after Steam's cut

from ~46 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Revita at ≈ 60k–98k copies, ≈ $282k–$760k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 10 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 1k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Twin Stick Shooter (8 of 8) and Action-Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Twin Stick Shooter, priced around $17.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
