Games like Sudeki

A typical game among these

≈ 1.3M–1.9M copies

≈ $22.9M–$29.8M after Steam's cut

from ~49k 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: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at ≈ 6.9M–11.3M copies, ≈ $95.2M–$256.1M 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 21k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 92k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share JRPG (7 of 8) and Action RPG (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Combat + Story Rich, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Exploration + Lore-Rich + Turn-Based Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2025, and 3 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
