Niche

Party-Based RPG + Turn-Based Strategy

Games tagged both Party-Based RPG and Turn-Based Strategy: 97 indie paid launches, 6 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".
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Party-Based RPG + Turn-Based Strategy priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

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

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 30 games tagged both Party-Based RPG and Turn-Based Strategy priced $10 to $20. 16.7 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 5.4 for Party-Based RPG-only games and 15.7 for Turn-Based Strategy-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 30 games priced $10 to $20; 16.7 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $6,882.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 30 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.
