None of your 8 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.

Best case: Checkmate Showdown at ≈ 6k–10k copies, ≈ $33k–$88k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 6 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 99.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8) and 2D Fighter (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting + Competitive, priced around $20.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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).
