Games like Mages and Treasures

A typical game among these

≈ 244–317 copies

≈ $233–$490 after Steam's cut

from ~9 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Zolg at ≈ 9k–15k copies, ≈ $3k–$7k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 7 reviews in their first month.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Top-Down Shooter (8 of 8) and Action-Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Top-Down Shooter, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Metroidvania + Minimalist + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 6 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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