A typical game among these

≈ 155–5k copies

≈ $259–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~13 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: Shing! at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $66k–$177k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

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 Roguelike (8 of 8) and Spectacle fighter (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Beat 'em up + Side Scroller, priced around $20.
When they shipped: Only 1 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).
