≈ $2k–$9k after Steam's cut

from ~54 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Typing of The Dead: Overkill at ≈ 259k–421k copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

Your set
Your set clusters on Arcade (8 of 8) and On-Rails Shooter (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with On-Rails Shooter + Zombies, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Zombies + Typing + Comedy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2013 to 2024, and 2 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
