The middle of these games

≈ 949k–1.5M copies

≈ $10.5M–$13.5M after Steam's cut

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 11k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 18k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Hack and Slash (6 of 8) and Spectacle fighter (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Character Action Game + Spectacle fighter, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Character Action Game + Spectacle fighter; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 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).
