≈ 69k–86k copies

≈ $447k–$904k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate at ≈ 110k–179k copies, ≈ $909k–$2.4M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 464 to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Hack and Slash (5 of 8) and Metroidvania (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Sandbox + Action-Adventure, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Action; 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
