Games like Idle Wizard

A typical game among these

≈ 22k–65k copies

≈ $46k–$111k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms at ≈ 374k–607k 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 410 reviews in their first month; the range was 55 to 5k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Idler (8 of 8) and Clicker (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dungeons & Dragons + Idler. The breakout hits carry Dungeons & Dragons + Free to Play + Strategy; 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).
