The middle of these games

≈ 163–619 copies

≈ $899–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~9 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Bloons TD 6 at ≈ 12.0M–19.5M copies, ≈ $46.1M–$124.0M 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 6 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3 to 13.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Tower Defense (6 of 8) and Exploration (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Trading + Simulation, priced around $14. The breakout hits carry Strategy + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 to 2025, and 2 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
