Games like Nomad Defender

A typical game among these

≈ 472–12k copies

≈ $1k–$79k after Steam's cut

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Tower Tactics: Liberation at ≈ 31k–51k copies, ≈ $112k–$300k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 27 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 747.

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

The winners: Winners here lead with Roguelike Deckbuilder + Tower Defense, priced around $13.
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).
