Does this actually work?

We left Dig Bombers out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Dig Bombers's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

The middle of these games

≈ 456–489 copies

≈ $187–$2k 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: ULTRAKILL at ≈ 6.0M–9.7M copies, ≈ $49.4M–$132.9M 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 2k 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 Arcade (5 of 8) and Arena Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS, priced around $16. The breakout hits carry FPS + Boomer Shooter + Fast-Paced; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
