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

≈ $27k–$53k after Steam's cut

from ~361 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: SYNTHETIK 2 at ≈ 86k–140k copies, ≈ $474k–$1.3M 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 141 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 76 to 575.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Rogue-lite (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rogue-lite + Top-Down Shooter, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Moddable + Early Access + Top-Down; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
