A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

2 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it, and 3 are too small to compare.

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 Card Game + Strategy, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Roguelike Deckbuilder + Rogue-like; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
