The middle of these games

≈ 602–919 copies

≈ $3k–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~22 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Nexus 5X at ≈ 23k–38k copies, ≈ $96k–$258k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 68 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 13 to 671.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Turn-Based Tactics (7 of 8) and Turn-Based Strategy (6 of 8).
The winners

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).
