Games like Monster Crown

A typical game among these

≈ 67k–158k copies

≈ $527k–$2.0M after Steam's cut

from ~3k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout at ≈ 253k–412k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 730 reviews in their first month; the range was 103 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share JRPG (8 of 8) and Female Protagonist (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with JRPG + Exploration.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
