Games like Rifle Strike

A typical game among these

≈ 596k–1.3M copies

≈ $4.9M–$6.2M after Steam's cut

from ~16k 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: ULTRAKILL at ≈ 6.1M–9.9M copies, ≈ $50.2M–$134.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games
The similar games share FPS (8 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Arena Shooter, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Arena Shooter + Fast-Paced + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2004 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).
