A typical game among these

≈ 379k–1.1M copies

≈ $1.9M–$4.6M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Vampire Survivors at ≈ 6.6M–10.7M copies, ≈ $9.1M–$24.4M 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 Action Roguelike (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Vampire + Indie + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
