A typical game among these

≈ 45k–71k copies

≈ $746k–$859k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

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

Best case: TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children at ≈ 246k–399k copies, ≈ $1.7M–$4.5M 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 192 reviews in their first month; the range was 122 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Turn-Based Tactics (7 of 8) and Anime (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Strategy + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Turn-Based Strategy + Female Protagonist + Strategy RPG; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2021, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
