Games like Idle Battle RPG

A typical game among these

≈ 163–1k copies

≈ $256–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~17 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Don't Starve at ≈ 7.2M–11.7M copies, ≈ $19.7M–$53.0M 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 6 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 22.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Idler (7 of 8) and Perma Death (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Survival + Open World Survival Craft, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Crafting + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2025, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
