The middle of these games

≈ 99k–179k copies

≈ $661k–$1.0M after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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: Neon Abyss at ≈ 586k–952k copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.7M 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 693 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 443 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Platformer (5 of 8) and Shooter (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-like + Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Loot + Procedural Generation + Rogue-like; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 to 2022, 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).
