Roguelite + Sci-fi
Games tagged both Roguelite and Sci-fi: 85 indie paid launches, 6 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Roguelite + Sci-fi 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 Roguelite and is about level with Sci-fi; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Roguelite and is too small to compare with Sci-fi.
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.
Roguelite + Sci-fi is too small to compare with Roguelite and is too small to compare with Sci-fi: 3 of its 17 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 25.7 in 100 for Roguelite and 14.9 in 100 for Sci-fi.
Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 17 launches, 3 hits.
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 17 games tagged both Roguelite and Sci-fi priced $10 to $20. 3 of 17 of them earned $100k+, against 26.1 in 100 for Roguelite-only games and 14.7 in 100 for Sci-fi-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Roguelite alone and is too small to compare with Sci-fi alone.
Both: 17 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 17 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $8,775.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 17 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.
