from ~11 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: The Perfect Tower II at ≈ 110k–178k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
The games that made it here had under 4k reviews in their first month.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Tower Defense (8 of 8) and Idler (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Idler. The breakout hits carry Idler + Pixel Graphics + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche 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).
