A typical game among these

≈ 391–2k copies

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 5 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Anime (2 of 5), 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: BE-A Walker at ≈ 17k–28k copies, ≈ $47k–$127k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 7 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 164.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Anime (2 of 5) and Hand-drawn (2 of 5).
The winners: Winners here lead with Shoot 'Em Up + Experimental, priced around $10.
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).
