The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action Roguelike (6 of 8) and Rogue-lite (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Action RPG, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + PvE + Vikings; 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
