Games like Chroma Wars

A typical game among these

≈ 165k–199k copies

≈ $2.2M–$2.8M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War at ≈ 572k–929k copies, ≈ $6.3M–$16.9M 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 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 825 to 5k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Wargame (7 of 8) and Turn-Based Strategy (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Warhammer 40K + 4X, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Warhammer 40K + Multiplayer + Character Customization; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2026, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
