Games like GUILT: The Deathless

A typical game among these

≈ 93k–132k copies

≈ $559k–$1.2M 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: Hades II at ≈ 3.1M–5.0M copies, ≈ $25.3M–$68.0M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 273 to 86k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Rogue-lite (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Hack and Slash, priced around $21. The breakout hits carry 2D Platformer + Side Scroller + Hack and Slash; 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).
