Showing Roguelite + Strategy 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 level with Roguelite and beats Strategy; priced $10 to $20 it trails Roguelite and beats Strategy.
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 + Strategy trails Roguelite and beats Strategy: 23.2 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 24.1 in 100 for Roguelite and 16.5 in 100 for Strategy.
That is about 1.2 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
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: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 190 games tagged both Roguelite and Strategy priced $10 to $20. 23.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 24.8 for Roguelite-only games and 14.8 for Strategy-only games, so the mix trails Roguelite alone and beats Strategy alone.
Both: 190 games priced $10 to $20; 23.2 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $20,338.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 190 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.
