Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 19k–120k
best case 424k (The Last Spell)
The Strategy lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 26k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 26k copies
≈ $165k after Steam's cut
from ~782 reviews
Best case
≈ 424k copies
The Last Spell · ≈ $4.1M after Steam's cut
from 13k reviews

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 Strategy + Singleplayer, priced around $25.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2024. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • 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.
