A typical game among these

≈ 1k–5k copies

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.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is On-Rails Shooter (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Valfaris: Mecha Therion at ≈ 12k–19k copies, ≈ $65k–$174k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 36 reviews in their first month; the range was 16 to 183.

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

The genre you'd be entering

The winners: Winners here lead with Shoot 'Em Up + Arcade, priced around $20.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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).
