A typical game among these

≈ 8k–424k copies

≈ $57k–$6.0M after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 10 to 5k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share CRPG (5 of 8) and Steampunk (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tactical RPG + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $45.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
