A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

The genre you'd be entering
The launch
The games that made it here had under 10 reviews in their first month.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
Your set
Your set clusters on Side Scroller (7 of 8) and 2D Platformer (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tower Defense + Combat, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Tower Defense + 3D + Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count.
