Niche

2D Platformer + Turn-Based Tactics

Games tagged both 2D Platformer and Turn-Based Tactics: 47 indie paid launches, 2 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

  • A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 13 games tagged both 2D Platformer and Turn-Based Tactics priced $10 to $20. 2 of 13 of them earned $100k+, against 15.5 in 100 for 2D Platformer-only games and 16.9 in 100 for Turn-Based Tactics-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 2D Platformer alone and is too small to compare with Turn-Based Tactics alone.

Both: 13 games priced $10 to $20; 2 of 13 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 8 of 13 launches · $10k+ 3 of 13 launches · $100k+ 2 of 13 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 13 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.
