Games like A Healer Only Lives Twice

A typical game among these

≈ 167k–450k copies

≈ $1.0M–$2.8M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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 40,000: Mechanicus at ≈ 445k–723k copies, ≈ $3.7M–$9.9M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Turn-Based (5 of 8) and Dungeon Crawler (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Warhammer 40K + Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Warhammer 40K + Games Workshop + Sci-fi; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2012 to 2022, 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).
