Games like Hexworld

A typical game among these

≈ 105k–179k copies

≈ $739k–$1.1M after Steam's cut

from ~5k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Mechabellum at ≈ 485k–788k copies, ≈ $2.0M–$5.4M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 11k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Tactical (6 of 8) and Auto Battler (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Wargame + RTS, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Wargame + Mechs + Robots; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
