Games like Hell Blasters

A typical game among these

≈ 89k–172k copies

≈ $192k–$821k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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: HoloCure - Save the Fans! at ≈ 1.0M–1.6M copies. 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 692 to 16k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Bullet Hell (8 of 8) and Shoot 'Em Up (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Bullet Hell + Anime. The breakout hits carry Action Roguelike + Rogue-lite + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
