4k to 6k copies, based on its 149 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 4k–6k; $8k–$22k after Steam's cut $15k–$34k before Steam's cut; from 149 reviews (Very Positive)

Games like CosmoDreamer

A typical game among these

≈ 668–4k copies

≈ $1k–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~30 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Is It Wrong to Try to Shoot 'em Up Girls in a Dungeon? at ≈ 6k–10k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 14 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 96.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Bullet Hell (7 of 8) and 2D Platformer (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Side Scroller + Shoot 'Em Up.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
