4 of your 8 similar games are hits.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Zombies (8 of 8) and Action RPG (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Zombies + Co-op, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Co-op + FPS + Shooter; 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).
