The middle of these games

≈ 164k–295k copies

≈ $506k–$1.1M after Steam's cut

from ~3k reviews

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

7 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Broforce at ≈ 3.0M–4.8M copies, ≈ $12.3M–$33.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Co-op (6 of 8) and Gore (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with America + Co-op, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry America + Pixel Graphics + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2010 to 2017, 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 43 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).
