Games like Crop Rotation

The middle of these games

≈ 387k–446k copies

≈ $2.6M–$4.3M after Steam's cut

from ~11k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Slay the Spire at ≈ 6.3M–10.2M copies, ≈ $43.1M–$116.0M 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 9k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7k to 21k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Deckbuilding (7 of 8) and Roguelike Deckbuilder (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Card Game + Roguelike Deckbuilder, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Card Game + Rogue-like; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 2 of your 8 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).
