A typical game among these

≈ 28k–46k copies

≈ $75k–$216k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Tower Dominion at ≈ 139k–226k copies, ≈ $669k–$1.8M 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 487 reviews in their first month; the range was 114 to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Rogue-like (7 of 8) and Auto Battler (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Base-Building, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Base-Building + RTS + Tactical; 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).
