Does this actually work?

We left Underland out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Underland's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2k–3k
best case 26k (Doomsday Hunters)
Games like Underland

The middle of these games

≈ 2k–3k copies

≈ $1k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~48 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Doomsday Hunters at ≈ 20k–32k copies, ≈ $86k–$231k 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 26 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 19 to 618.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Dungeon Crawler (6 of 8) and Destruction (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Arcade + Twin Stick Shooter, priced around $16. The breakout hits carry Arcade + Twin Stick Shooter + Difficult; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
