≈ 1k–3k copies

≈ $7k–$9k after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 30 reviews in their first month; the range was 14 to 76.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Mystery Dungeon (6 of 8) and Rogue-like (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mystery Dungeon + Top-Down, priced around $3.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2020 to 2026, and 1 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
