2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Rogue-like (4 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: For The King at ≈ 1.3M–2.2M copies, ≈ $7.3M–$19.6M 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 19 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7 to 81.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Rogue-like (4 of 8) and Rogue-lite (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Wargame + Vikings, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Wargame + Vikings + Real Time Tactics; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
