The Turn-Based Strategy lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 25k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 25k copies
≈ $240k after Steam's cut

Best case

Pool 2D - Poolians

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 7 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits 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 Free to Play + Pool, priced around $45.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Multiplayer + Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2017 to 2023, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
