≈ $1k–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~26 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: Eryi's Action at ≈ 88k–143k copies, ≈ $121k–$324k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 2D Platformer (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with 2D Platformer, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Action + Fast-Paced + Post-apocalyptic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2013 to 2024, and 1 of your 8 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
