The middle of these games

≈ 444k–674k copies

≈ $3.3M–$4.3M after Steam's cut

from ~14k 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: Monster Train at ≈ 569k–924k copies, ≈ $3.9M–$10.5M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Rogue-like (5 of 8) and Tower Defense (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Card Battler + Rogue-lite, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Card Battler + Card Game + Deckbuilding; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
