Games like Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville™

A typical game among these

≈ 4.0M–5.9M copies

≈ $44.9M–$61.4M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Z1 Battle Royale at ≈ 6.2M–10.0M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Zombies (6 of 8) and Horror (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Survival + Open World. The breakout hits carry Massively Multiplayer + Battle Royale + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2009 to 2023, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
