The middle of these games

≈ 1k–4k copies

≈ $1k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~85 reviews

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

1 of your 7 similar games is a hit.

Best case: AXYOS at ≈ 69k–112k copies, ≈ $94k–$254k 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 6 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 53.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Wargame (6 of 7) and Hero Shooter (5 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry MOBA + Multiplayer + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
