3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Action RPG (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Dungeon Defenders II at ≈ 763k–1.2M copies.

About half the games that made it here had over 21 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 285.

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

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