The middle of these games

≈ 619–1k copies

≈ $2k–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~20 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Taur at ≈ 52k–85k copies, ≈ $359k–$965k 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 20 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 470.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Tower Defense (7 of 8) and Base-Building (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with RTS + City Builder, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Strategy; 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
