Games like Dungeon Tycoon

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–437k copies

≈ $2k–$3.2M after Steam's cut

from ~271 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: Dome Keeper at ≈ 558k–906k copies, ≈ $2.8M–$7.4M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 50 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 3k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Tower Defense (5 of 8) and Base-Building (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Post-apocalyptic + Rogue-like, priced around $18.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
