Games like Mage and Monsters

A typical game among these

≈ 114–130 copies

≈ $106–$307 after Steam's cut

from ~4 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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Dungeon Exiles at ≈ 3k–5k copies, ≈ $4k–$11k 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 17 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 58.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Auto Battler (6 of 8) and Fantasy (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-like + Auto Battler, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Dungeon Crawler + Rogue-lite; 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).
