Your set: Your set clusters on Action RPG (3 of 5) and Combat (3 of 5).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mythology + Action RPG, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Mythology + Souls-like + Action RPG; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
