A typical game among these

≈ 423–1k copies

≈ $2k–$77k after Steam's cut

from ~22 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: Old Retro Shooter at ≈ 1k–2k copies, ≈ $61k–$165k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 8 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 19.

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 Platformer (6 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Choose Your Own Adventure, priced around $200.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
