$23k–$63k after Steam's cut $42k–$96k before Steam's cut

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Dragon Spirits and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Dragon Spirits's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3k–102k
best case 1.6M (My Singing Monsters)
Games like Dragon Spirits

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–102k copies

≈ $5k–$387k after Steam's cut

from ~460 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: My Singing Monsters at ≈ 1.2M–2.0M copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 77 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 2k.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Creature Collector (7 of 8) and Clicker (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Creature Collector + Simulation.
When they shipped
Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
