Games like Panzer Strategy

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–3k copies

≈ $2k–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~67 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.

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

Best case: The Conquest of Go at ≈ 15k–24k copies, ≈ $60k–$162k 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 78 reviews in their first month; the range was 13 to 499.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Turn-Based Strategy (5 of 8) and Turn-Based Tactics (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Turn-Based + Board Game, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Board Game + Tabletop; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2018 to 2025, and 2 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).
