Games like Tallowmere

A typical game among these

≈ 13k–16k copies

≈ $47k–$53k after Steam's cut

from ~401 reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Have a Nice Death at ≈ 268k–436k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$5.0M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 272 to 7k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Hack and Slash (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 2D Platformer, priced around $19. The breakout hits carry 2D Platformer + Platformer + 2D Fighter; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
