The middle of these games

≈ 22k–64k copies

≈ $46k–$111k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

4 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms at ≈ 373k–606k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 410 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 55 to 5k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 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.
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).
