About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 999 to 7k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Rogue-like (8 of 8) and Rogue-lite (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Roguelike Deckbuilder + Deckbuilding, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Procedural Generation + Simulation + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
