from ~20 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: Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy: Prologue at ≈ 84k–137k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 17 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 931.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The era
Only 2 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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).
