The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Tower Defense (7 of 8) and Bullet Hell (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tower Defense, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Strategy + Deckbuilding + Card Game; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
