Games like Abyss Odyssey

The middle of these games

≈ 217k–836k copies

≈ $1.5M–$6.9M after Steam's cut

from ~10k 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: Dead Cells at ≈ 5.6M–9.0M copies, ≈ $38.2M–$102.8M 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 6k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 14k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action Roguelike + Metroidvania, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Metroidvania + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2013 to 2024, 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).
