Games like Dwarven Realms

A typical game among these

≈ 150k–589k copies

≈ $706k–$1.7M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 at ≈ 4.5M–7.3M copies, ≈ $37.0M–$99.6M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Fantasy (5 of 8) and Hack and Slash (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Dark Fantasy, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry PvE + Dark Fantasy + Games Workshop; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2005 to 2018, 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 38 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).
