A typical game among these

≈ 3k–64k copies

≈ $8k–$923k after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 60 reviews in their first month; the range was 31 to 2k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 2D Fighter (6 of 8) and 4 Player Local (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 4 Player Local + 2D Fighter, priced around $10.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2025, and 2 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
