≈ 209k–537k copies

≈ $1.9M–$5.2M after Steam's cut

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition at ≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies, ≈ $6.0M–$16.1M after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 9k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Rogue-like (6 of 8) and Rogue-lite (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action RPG + Third Person, priced around $20.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
