The middle of these games

≈ 488k–1.1M copies

≈ $4.3M–$5.1M after Steam's cut

from ~14k 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: Path of Exile at ≈ 15.8M–25.6M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 6k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3k to 102k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Isometric (5 of 8) and Dark Fantasy (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Dark Fantasy + Action RPG, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Action RPG + Hack and Slash + MMORPG; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 1997 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).
