About half the games that made it here had over 111 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 29 to 4k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Souls-like (7 of 8) and Action RPG (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Souls-like + 3D Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Cartoony + Cute + Dark Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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).
