The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Hack and Slash (6 of 8) and Female Protagonist (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Battle Royale + Martial Arts. The breakout hits carry Battle Royale + Multiplayer + Martial Arts; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2011 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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).
