from ~28 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Experimental (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Titanfall® 2 at ≈ 7.1M–11.5M copies, ≈ $58.4M–$157.0M 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 5 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 20k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

Your set clusters on Experimental (3 of 8) and Exploration (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Card Battler + Card Game, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Card Battler + Card Game + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
