4k to 6k copies, based on its 153 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Games like Veritus

A typical game among these

≈ 22k–29k copies

≈ $146k–$592k after Steam's cut

from ~712 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Slormancer at ≈ 183k–297k copies, ≈ $1.0M–$2.7M 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 315 reviews in their first month; the range was 48 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Hack and Slash (6 of 8) and Action RPG (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hack and Slash + Dungeon Crawler, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Dungeon Crawler + Loot + 2D; 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).
