All 8 of your similar games are hits.

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

Best case: Bad North: Jotunn Edition at ≈ 431k–700k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$4.8M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Tower Defense (7 of 8) and Rogue-like (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tower Defense, priced around $13. The breakout hits carry Survival + Pixel Graphics + Exploration; 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).
