The middle of these games

≈ 174k–260k copies

≈ $2.0M–$2.8M after Steam's cut

from ~6k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Stronghold Crusader HD (2012) at ≈ 1.3M–2.2M copies, ≈ $3.7M–$9.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 681 to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Real Time Tactics (6 of 8) and Building (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Villain Protagonist + Base-Building, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Base-Building + Simulation; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 to 2023, 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).
