Does this actually work?

We left Gem Rush out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Gem Rush's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 95–662
best case 3.4M (Dota Underlords)
The Casual lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 228 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 228 copies
≈ $558 after Steam's cut

Best case
≈ 3.4M copies
Dota Underlords
from 91k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 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 Free to Play + Strategy, priced around $2.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Auto Battler + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
