The Card Battler lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 44k copies, so plan for a small audience.

Minion Masters
from 65k reviews

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with PvE + Trading Card Game, priced around $20.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2024. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
