Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 700–2k

best case 22k (SHOOPER NOVA)

Games like Necrosmith 2

A typical game among these

≈ 700–2k copies

≈ $1k–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~33 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.

Best case: SHOOPER NOVA at ≈ 16k–27k copies, ≈ $32k–$85k 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 28 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 337.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Bullet Hell (8 of 8) and Rogue-lite (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-lite + Tower Defense, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Space + Action + Action Roguelike; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 6 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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).
