A typical game among these

≈ 20k–30k copies

≈ $39k–$58k after Steam's cut

from ~755 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: Firestone – Idle Clicker Online RPG at ≈ 174k–282k 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 230 reviews in their first month; the range was 133 to 5k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Auto Battler (8 of 8) and Idler (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Idler + Clicker. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + RPG + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
