Games like Tactical Command

A typical game among these

≈ 984k–1.5M copies

≈ $9.4M–$15.9M after Steam's cut

from ~26k 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: Heroes & Generals at ≈ 5.9M–9.6M copies. 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 19k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 24k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share War (7 of 8) and World War II (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with War, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + FPS + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2006 to 2024, and 1 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).
