≈ $52k–$79k after Steam's cut

from ~418 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: Beyond Citadel at ≈ 114k–185k copies, ≈ $470k–$1.3M 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 150 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 51 to 1k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Boomer Shooter (8 of 8) and FPS (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Female Protagonist, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Anime + 2.5D; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
