A typical game among these

≈ 643–4k copies

≈ $988–$9k after Steam's cut

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

The games that made it here had under 3k reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Platformer (5 of 8) and Procedural Generation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-like + Platformer, priced around $31. The breakout hits carry Loot + Singleplayer + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2021, 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 31 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).
