$27–$73 after Steam's cut $49–$112 before the cut

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

The middle of these games

≈ 111k–124k copies

≈ $320k–$544k after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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: The Spell Brigade at ≈ 411k–668k copies, ≈ $1.5M–$3.9M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 780 to 15k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Bullet Hell (7 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Arcade + Story Rich, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Funny + Story Rich + Controller; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2026, and 3 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).
