The middle of these games

≈ 14k–52k copies

≈ $59k–$100k after Steam's cut

from ~429 reviews

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

3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Vampire Survivors at ≈ 6.6M–10.7M copies, ≈ $9.0M–$24.2M 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 309 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 11 to 129k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Vampire (7 of 8) and Rogue-like (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Roguelike Deckbuilder + Card Game, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Roguelike Deckbuilder + Card Game; 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 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).
