Your set: Your set clusters on Rogue-like (7 of 8) and Chess (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Tactical.
The era: Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
