What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 933 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Metroidvania (8 of 8) and 2D Platformer (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Anime, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Anime + Female Protagonist + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
