The middle of these games

≈ 204–806 copies

≈ $218–$731 after Steam's cut

from ~17 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Alien Scumbags at ≈ 3k–5k copies, ≈ $5k–$13k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 9 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 20.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Side Scroller (6 of 8) and 2D Platformer (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Gore + 2D Platformer, priced around $6.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
