Games like Knights in Tight Spaces

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–4k copies

≈ $12k–$17k after Steam's cut

from ~117 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Mahokenshi - The Samurai Deckbuilder at ≈ 15k–25k copies, ≈ $106k–$286k 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 73 reviews in their first month; the range was 20 to 262.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Card Battler (6 of 8) and Turn-Based Strategy (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Strategy + Card Battler, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Choices Matter + Choose Your Own Adventure + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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).
