Games like Combat Complex

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–14k copies

≈ $7k–$38k after Steam's cut

from ~157 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Hero Siege at ≈ 2.7M–4.4M copies, ≈ $5.9M–$15.8M 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 77 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 476.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action RPG (8 of 8) and Action Roguelike (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action RPG + Hack and Slash, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Multiplayer + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 6 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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