A typical game among these

≈ 15k–57k copies

≈ $94k–$461k after Steam's cut

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: ASTLIBRA Revision at ≈ 792k–1.3M copies, ≈ $5.4M–$14.6M after Steam's cut. 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 361 reviews in their first month; the range was 86 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action RPG (5 of 8) and Side Scroller (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action RPG + Side Scroller, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Drama + Time Travel + JRPG; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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