Games like Bang! Howdy

A typical game among these

≈ 391–2k copies

≈ $502–$822 after Steam's cut

from ~33 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: John Wick Hex at ≈ 19k–31k copies. 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 19 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 75.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Time Management (6 of 8) and Real Time Tactics (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Real Time Tactics + Time Management. The breakout hits carry Action + Tactical + Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
