The Action Roguelike lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 15k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 15k copies
≈ $35k after Steam's cut
from ~435 reviews
Best case
≈ 12.1M copies
Risk of Rain 2 · ≈ $117.1M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it.

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 Action Roguelike + Rogue-like, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Rogue-like + Multiplayer + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
