None of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Checkmate Showdown at ≈ 6k–10k copies, ≈ $33k–$88k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 6 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 99.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8) and 2D Fighter (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting + Competitive, priced around $20.
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).
