The genre you'd be entering

The launch: The games that made it here had roughly 12 to 85 reviews in their first month.; Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
Your set: Your set clusters on Card Battler (6 of 8) and Rogue-like (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-lite + Card Game, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Rogue-lite + Card Game + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.
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.
