The middle of these games

≈ 98k–395k copies

≈ $344k–$2.6M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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.

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 591 to 41k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dwarf + Action Roguelike, priced around $13. The breakout hits carry Dwarf + PvE + Top-Down; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, and 3 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
