Games like Plantasia

A typical game among these

≈ 4k–8k copies

≈ $9k–$17k after Steam's cut

from ~169 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Rusty's Retirement at ≈ 369k–600k copies, ≈ $709k–$1.9M 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 70 reviews in their first month; the range was 27 to 6k.

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 (6 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Farming Sim, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Strategy + Farming Sim; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
