≈ $55k–$73k after Steam's cut

from ~193 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Panzer Corps Gold at ≈ 153k–249k copies, ≈ $1.3M–$3.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 97 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 50 to 348.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Turn-Based Strategy (7 of 8) and World War II (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Board Game + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Historical; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2023, 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).
