A typical game among these

≈ 28k–59k copies

≈ $163k–$475k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 5 to 9k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Metroidvania (6 of 8) and Martial Arts (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Story Rich + Martial Arts, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry RPG + Story Rich + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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).
