≈ $128k–$247k after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Tactical RPG (5 of 8) and Turn-Based Combat (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dark Fantasy + Turn-Based Combat, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Dark Fantasy + Online Co-Op + Turn-Based Combat; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
