The middle of these games

≈ 212–2k copies

≈ $761–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~15 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Furi at ≈ 584k–948k copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 100 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Bullet Hell (8 of 8) and Boss Rush (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Bullet Hell + Hack and Slash, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Hack and Slash + Beat 'em up + Top-Down; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
