Niche

Action RPG + Action Roguelike

  • 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.

Showing Action RPG + Action Roguelike priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Action RPG and is about level with Action Roguelike; priced $10 to $20 it beats Action RPG and is about level with Action Roguelike.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 56 games tagged both Action RPG and Action Roguelike priced $10 to $20. 28.6 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 19.3 in 100 for Action RPG-only games and 26.6 in 100 for Action Roguelike-only games, so the mix beats Action RPG alone and is about level with Action Roguelike alone.

Both: 56 games priced $10 to $20; 28.6 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 82 in 100 · $10k+ 57 in 100 · $100k+ 29 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 56 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.
