The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Tower Defense (7 of 8) and Clicker (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Clicker + Shooter. The breakout hits carry FPS + Action + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
