Games like Soulslinger

A typical game among these

≈ 82–98 copies

≈ $151–$195 after Steam's cut

from ~3 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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Virus Blast at ≈ 719–1k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 13 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 Runner (6 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Replay Value + Procedural Generation, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Racing; 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).
