The middle of these games

≈ 240k–551k copies

≈ $1.9M–$4.6M after Steam's cut

from ~10k reviews

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

5 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Last Epoch at ≈ 2.9M–4.8M copies, ≈ $28.2M–$75.9M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 13 to 86k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Hack and Slash (8 of 8) and Action Roguelike (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hack and Slash, priced around $32. The breakout hits carry Action RPG + Loot + RPG; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2024, and 2 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
