≈ $7.7M–$9.5M after Steam's cut

from ~21k reviews

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

6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Total War: WARHAMMER II at ≈ 4.2M–6.8M copies, ≈ $68.9M–$185.3M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 5 to 4k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Fantasy (6 of 8) and Shooter (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Fantasy + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Strategy + Turn-Based Strategy + RTS; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
