The Strategy lane

≈ 54k copies
≈ $284k after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits 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 Rogue-like + Strategy, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Fantasy + Turn-Based Strategy + Strategy RPG; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
