Games like Space Hulk: Deathwing

A typical game among these

≈ 436k–791k copies

≈ $4.8M–$7.8M after Steam's cut

from ~11k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 at ≈ 4.5M–7.3M copies, ≈ $37.0M–$99.6M 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 7k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 49k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Warhammer 40K (5 of 8) and Co-op (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hack and Slash, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry Hack and Slash + PvE + Dwarf; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2007 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
