A typical game among these

≈ 24k–150k copies

≈ $73k–$1.4M after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 4 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 570.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 3D Fighter (5 of 8) and VR (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Violent, priced around $20.
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).
