A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 6 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

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 JRPG + Turn-Based Combat, priced around $30.
  • The breakout hits carry Turn-Based Combat + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2019. 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 Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
