The middle of these games

≈ 56k–185k copies

≈ $137k–$484k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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.

Best case: Dota Underlords at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 7k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Auto Battler (5 of 8) and Rogue-like (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Turn-Based Tactics. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Turn-Based Tactics + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 1 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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).
