Party-Based RPG + RPG
Games tagged both Party-Based RPG and RPG: 337 indie paid launches, 21 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Party-Based RPG + RPG priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Party-Based RPG and is about level with RPG; priced $10 to $20 it is about level with Party-Based RPG and trails RPG.
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.
Party-Based RPG + RPG is about level with Party-Based RPG and trails RPG: 6.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 6.3 in 100 for Party-Based RPG and 17.6 in 100 for RPG.
That is 1 in 17, about 0.3 times the 17.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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.
The overlap is this niche: the 99 games tagged both Party-Based RPG and RPG priced $10 to $20. 6.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 2 of 28 for Party-Based RPG-only games and 19.2 in 100 for RPG-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Party-Based RPG alone and trails RPG alone.
Both: 99 games priced $10 to $20; 6.1 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 17), typical first-year earnings $5,458.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 99 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.
