None of your 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Post-apocalyptic (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

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: Apocalipsis at ≈ 16k–26k copies, ≈ $30k–$82k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 367 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Post-apocalyptic (3 of 8) and Board Game (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Anime, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 2 of your 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).
