from ~6k reviews

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: Rivals of Aether at ≈ 1.3M–2.1M copies, ≈ $10.8M–$29.1M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 2D Fighter (8 of 8) and Fighting (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting + 2D Fighter, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Platformer + Pixel Graphics + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 to 2021, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
