A typical game among these

≈ 15k–29k copies

≈ $42k–$134k after Steam's cut

from ~618 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Soulstone Survivors at ≈ 668k–1.1M copies, ≈ $2.8M–$7.4M 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 267 reviews in their first month; the range was 86 to 23k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Hack and Slash (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Action RPG + Early Access + Top-Down; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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