Games like Lootun

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–57k copies

≈ $3k–$85k after Steam's cut

from ~163 reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Dota Underlords at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies. 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 32 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 16k.

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 (8 of 8) and Idler (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Auto Battler, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Strategy + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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