The middle of these games

≈ 242k–535k copies

≈ $933k–$3.7M after Steam's cut

from ~12k 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: Brotato at ≈ 2.9M–4.8M copies, ≈ $4.0M–$10.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Bullet Hell + Action Roguelike, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Local Co-Op + Singleplayer + Sci-fi; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2026, 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
