A typical game among these

≈ 977k–2.0M copies

≈ $16.3M–$23.3M after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 18k reviews in their first month; the range was 12k to 44k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share City Builder (7 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with City Builder + Simulation, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Base-Building + Medieval + Grand Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
