≈ 62k–85k copies

≈ $391k–$796k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

7 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy at ≈ 226k–367k copies, ≈ $435k–$1.2M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set
Your set clusters on Rogue-lite (5 of 8) and Anime (4 of 8).
The winners

The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, and 3 of your 8 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).
