Niches / 3D + Fantasy

Niche

3D + Fantasy

Games tagged both 3D and Fantasy: 268 indie paid launches, 8 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 26,280 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing 3D + Fantasy priced $10 to $20, west-facing view. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with 3D and is about level with Fantasy; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Fantasy.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

3D + Fantasy is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Fantasy: 2 of its 41 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 13.6 in 100 for 3D and 10.7 in 100 for Fantasy.

Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 41 launches, 2 hits.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 41 games tagged both 3D and Fantasy priced $10 to $20. 2 of 41 of them earned $100k+, against 14.0 in 100 for 3D-only games and 11.4 in 100 for Fantasy-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D alone and is too small to compare with Fantasy alone.

Both: 41 games priced $10 to $20; 2 of 41 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,798.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 41 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. The west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.

  • 3D is led by R.E.P.O., with 18.3% of its money.
  • Fantasy is led by Granblue Fantasy: Relink, with 23.2% of its money.
  • No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.
