The middle of these games

≈ 189k–293k copies

≈ $1.7M–$2.6M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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

6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Blade and Sorcery at ≈ 1.5M–2.5M copies, ≈ $12.7M–$34.1M 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 595 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 307 to 49k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Gore (8 of 8) and Violent (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Swordplay, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Swordplay + Moddable + Magic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2019 to 2025, and 2 of your 7 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
