Games like Reign of Darkness

A typical game among these

≈ 19k–77k copies

≈ $342k–$685k after Steam's cut

from ~749 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: The Lord of the Rings Online™ at ≈ 1.5M–2.4M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share MMORPG (5 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with MMORPG + Open World. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Free to Play + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 to 2021, and none of them 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).
