No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Sci-fi (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 45 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 21 to 813.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The winners: Winners here lead with Boomer Shooter + 1990's, priced around $15.
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).
