≈ 765–13k copies

≈ $4k–$50k after Steam's cut

from ~95 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Eximius: Seize the Frontline at ≈ 18k–30k copies, ≈ $100k–$270k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 20 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 390.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Base-Building (6 of 8) and FPS (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Team-Based + Isometric, priced around $20.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2024, 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
