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: Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition at ≈ 5.6M–9.0M copies, ≈ $91.8M–$246.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Turn-Based Strategy (5 of 8) and Grand Strategy (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Historical + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Rome + Tactical + Historical; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2010 to 2025, and 1 of your 8 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).
