The middle of these games

≈ 505k–952k copies

≈ $3.0M–$4.9M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: Vampire Survivors at ≈ 6.6M–10.7M copies, ≈ $9.0M–$24.2M 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 24k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 8k to 129k.

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 Action Roguelike + Bullet Hell, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Vampire + 2D + Singleplayer; 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
