≈ $7k–$11k after Steam's cut

from ~66 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok at ≈ 157k–256k copies, ≈ $432k–$1.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
The games that made it here had under 4k reviews in their first month.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Action Roguelike (8 of 8) and Arena Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Early Access + Top-Down + Bullet Hell; 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
