4 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: HELLDIVERS™ Dive Harder Edition at ≈ 1.6M–2.6M copies, ≈ $9.0M–$24.1M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Top-Down Shooter (5 of 8) and 4 Player Local (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Top-Down Shooter, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Sci-fi + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 to 2019, and none of them 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 36 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).
