>Aegis Defenders

7/10 on Steam and Metacritic. Reviewed by major publishers. Over 100 reviews.

Not sure what you mean by "no traction". But I'm sure it did fantastic in some alternate universe because Sean Carroll.

But we're in this universe.

Based on the number of years it took to develop the game, it wouldn't be considered one that achieved "15 minutes of fame". 100 reviews is quite a far cry from your example of Balatro with 33k. I'm not sure where you plan to draw the line on "success", but I think this is a broadly reasonable contrast.

3 of my steam friends have already purchased it. One of them has it on wishlist.

I only have 40 steam friends.

I own this game too, got it probably from a bundle-sale, so I didn't really bought it on purpose for the game itself. It also seems to haven been given away for free some years ago.
