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: Risk of Rain 2 at ≈ 8.7M–14.2M copies, ≈ $59.9M–$161.2M 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 21 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 103k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Rogue-lite (8 of 8) and Third-Person Shooter (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Third-Person Shooter + Action Roguelike, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Rogue-like + Magic + Destruction; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
