Games like MEMORIAPOLIS

A typical game among these

≈ 286k–472k copies

≈ $2.5M–$3.8M after Steam's cut

from ~11k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Dwarf Fortress at ≈ 783k–1.3M copies, ≈ $6.5M–$17.4M 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 8k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 16k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share City Builder (7 of 8) and Colony Sim (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dwarf + Colony Sim, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Dwarf + Simulation + Management; 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
