Games like Day of Dragons

A typical game among these

≈ 220k–534k copies

≈ $1.3M–$3.7M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: ARK: Survival Evolved at ≈ 26.8M–43.5M copies, ≈ $110.4M–$296.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 6k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 32k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Survival (7 of 8) and Open World (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Survival, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Dinosaurs + Building + Open World Survival Craft; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2026, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
