A typical game among these

≈ 382–529 copies

≈ $712–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~16 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Defense high at ≈ 1k–2k copies, ≈ $2k–$4k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 10 reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Side Scroller (7 of 8) and 2D Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Combat, priced around $5.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
