The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Auto Battler (6 of 8) and Rogue-like (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Inventory Management, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Inventory Management + PvP + Asynchronous Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
