About half the games that made it here had over 53 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 21 to 484.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Arcade (5 of 8) and Action-Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Arcade, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Beat 'em up + Side Scroller + Arcade; 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).
