Showing 2.5D + Fantasy priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 15 games tagged both 2.5D and Fantasy priced $10 to $20. 13.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 12.8 for 2.5D-only games and 11.2 for Fantasy-only games, so the mix is level with 2.5D alone and beats Fantasy alone.
Both: 15 games priced $10 to $20; 13.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $1,821.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 15 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
