Games like Valkyrie Champions

A typical game among these

≈ 423–489 copies

≈ $168–$1k after Steam's cut

from ~14 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Black Gunner Wukong at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $33k–$89k after Steam's cut. 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 12 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 271.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Arena Shooter (7 of 8) and Hero Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Arena Shooter + Shooter, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Action Roguelike + Third-Person Shooter + Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
