A typical game among these

≈ 3k–6k copies

≈ $6k–$25k after Steam's cut

from ~102 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: The Legend of Bum-Bo at ≈ 171k–278k copies, ≈ $705k–$1.9M 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 17 reviews in their first month; the range was 10 to 204.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Match 3 (7 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rogue-lite + Puzzle, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Rogue-lite + Great Soundtrack + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
