Games like Master of Magic Classic

A typical game among these

≈ 765k–790k copies

≈ $3.7M–$6.4M after Steam's cut

from ~13k 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: FINAL FANTASY VII at ≈ 754k–1.2M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Fantasy (7 of 8) and Classic (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Classic + Fantasy, priced around $22.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2018. 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 that falls with release age, from about 38 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
