A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Roguelike Deckbuilder + Card Game, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Roguelike Deckbuilder + Rogue-like + Turn-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
