Games like Alina of the Arena

A typical game among these

≈ 106k–180k copies

≈ $819k–$1.6M after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Monster Train at ≈ 570k–927k copies, ≈ $3.9M–$10.5M after Steam's cut.

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Roguelike Deckbuilder (7 of 8) and Turn-Based Tactics (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Card Battler + Rogue-lite, priced around $25.
When they shipped: Only 2 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).
