The middle of these games

≈ 196–448 copies

≈ $188–$974 after Steam's cut

from ~8 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: First Cut: Samurai Duel at ≈ 50k–82k copies, ≈ $124k–$334k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 531 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 2D Fighter (6 of 8) and Martial Arts (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 2D Fighter + Arcade, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Arcade + Swordplay + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
