The middle of these games

≈ 915k–1.5M copies

≈ $9.1M–$17.5M after Steam's cut

from ~32k reviews

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

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 9k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 5k to 17k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Character Customization (5 of 8) and Turn-Based Combat (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tactical RPG + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Exploration + Tactical RPG + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 to 2023, 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 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
