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: Persona 4 Golden at ≈ 2.2M–3.5M copies, ≈ $11.9M–$31.9M 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 5 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 19k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

Your set
Your set clusters on JRPG (8 of 8) and Party-Based RPG (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with JRPG + Story Rich, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Turn-Based Combat + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2024, and 1 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
