Games like Steam Tactics

A typical game among these

≈ 659–1k copies

≈ $3k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~22 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

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

Best case: Iron Danger at ≈ 25k–41k copies, ≈ $139k–$374k 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 90 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 348.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Tactical RPG (7 of 8) and Turn-Based Tactics (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tactical RPG, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Steampunk; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
