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: Hotline Miami at ≈ 8.1M–13.1M copies, ≈ $22.2M–$59.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Gore (6 of 8) and Violent (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Violent + Gore, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Pixel Graphics + 1980s; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
