≈ 5.1M–7.1M copies

≈ $19.3M–$57.2M after Steam's cut

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

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

The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Combat + Dark Fantasy, priced around $25.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
