The middle of these games

≈ 49k–59k copies

≈ $314k–$384k 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.

6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: 9 Years of Shadows at ≈ 83k–135k copies, ≈ $456k–$1.2M 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 345 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 143 to 933.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action-Adventure (8 of 8) and Metroidvania (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Fantasy + Action RPG + Side Scroller; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
