$239–$640 after Steam's cut $434–$985 before the cut

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

We left Mythic Defender out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Mythic Defender's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

The middle of these games

≈ 244–541 copies

≈ $1k–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~10 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Elven Assassin at ≈ 16k–26k copies, ≈ $89k–$240k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
The games that made it here had under 573 reviews in their first month.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on VR (8 of 8) and Archery (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with VR + Simulation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Simulation + Adventure + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
