Niche

Bullet Hell + Roguelike

Games tagged both Bullet Hell and Roguelike: 454 indie paid launches, 26 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 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Bullet Hell + Roguelike priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. 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 Bullet Hell and is about level with Roguelike; priced $10 to $20 it beats Bullet Hell and is about level with Roguelike.

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 41 games tagged both Bullet Hell and Roguelike priced $10 to $20. 29.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.3 in 100 for Bullet Hell-only games and 27.4 in 100 for Roguelike-only games, so the mix beats Bullet Hell alone and is about level with Roguelike alone.

Both: 41 games priced $10 to $20; 29.3 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 98 in 100 · $10k+ 59 in 100 · $100k+ 29 in 100.

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 last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
