6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Puzzle (4 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: Besiege at ≈ 1.3M–2.1M copies, ≈ $5.4M–$14.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 378 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 72 to 31k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Puzzle (4 of 8) and Medieval (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Sandbox, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Sandbox + Destruction + Physics; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 2 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).
