All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

About half the games that made it here had over 10k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6k to 16k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8) and Character Customization (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tactical RPG + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Tactical RPG + Exploration + Turn-Based Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
