Games like Unsouled

A typical game among these

≈ 1.5M–5.4M copies

≈ $25.2M–$74.1M after Steam's cut

from ~47k 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: Black Myth: Wukong at ≈ 30.1M–48.9M copies, ≈ $496.2M–$1334.2M after Steam's cut. 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 18k reviews in their first month; the range was 6k to 836k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action RPG (8 of 8) and Souls-like (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mythology + Action RPG, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Mythology + Combat + Story Rich; 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
