Your set
Your set clusters on Arena Shooter (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Top-Down + Rogue-lite + Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
