≈ 140k–186k copies

≈ $1.1M–$1.8M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Action-Adventure (3 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: 鬼谷八荒 Tale of Immortal at ≈ 5.6M–9.1M copies, ≈ $30.6M–$82.4M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 440 to 208k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action-Adventure (3 of 8) and Platformer (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Souls-like, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Metroidvania + Souls-like + Difficult; 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).
