Games like Combat Complex

The middle of these games

≈ 2k–14k copies

≈ $7k–$37k after Steam's cut

from ~155 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Hero Siege at ≈ 2.7M–4.3M copies, ≈ $5.8M–$15.7M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 77 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 476.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 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.
The era: 6 of your 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).
