Games like Pachillinko

A typical game among these

≈ 15k–83k copies

≈ $27k–$33k after Steam's cut

from ~921 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Idle Slayer at ≈ 270k–439k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 84 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 286.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Clicker (5 of 8) and Idler (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + Clicker.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2024, and 2 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).
