The middle of these games

≈ 492k–689k copies

≈ $4.2M–$8.6M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: Dead Cells at ≈ 5.6M–9.0M copies, ≈ $38.2M–$102.8M 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 4k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 792 to 8k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Metroidvania (6 of 8) and Souls-like (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Metroidvania, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
