≈ $73k–$130k after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Roguelike Deckbuilder (7 of 8) and Card Game (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-like, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Rogue-like + Difficult + Turn-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
