2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Auto Battler (3 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: Dota Underlords at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 55 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 5 to 839.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Auto Battler (3 of 8) and Automation (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler + Tactical. The breakout hits carry Tactical + Turn-Based Tactics + Free to Play; 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
