A typical game among these

≈ 5k–9k copies

≈ $16k–$41k after Steam's cut

from ~239 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: HerrAnwalt: Lawyers Legacy at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $20k–$55k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 78 reviews in their first month; the range was 5 to 321.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Action-Adventure (6 of 8) and 2D Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with 2D Fighter + Action-Adventure, priced around $6.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
