Games like Moondrop

A typical game among these

≈ 521–2k copies

≈ $986–$7k after Steam's cut

from ~22 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Gnomes at ≈ 46k–74k copies, ≈ $126k–$338k 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 21 reviews in their first month; the range was 6 to 649.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Farming Sim (7 of 8) and Rogue-lite (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Turn-Based, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Turn-Based + Dwarf + Tower Defense; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
