Games like Shrine

The middle of these games

≈ 863k–2.2M copies

≈ $6.3M–$7.9M after Steam's cut

from ~27k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: ULTRAKILL at ≈ 6.0M–9.8M copies, ≈ $49.7M–$133.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 11k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on FPS (8 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Blood + Character Action Game + Arena Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 1998 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
