Niche

Strategy RPG + Turn-Based Tactics

Games tagged both Strategy RPG and Turn-Based Tactics: 142 indie paid launches, 14 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 Strategy RPG + Turn-Based Tactics priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Strategy RPG and is about level with Turn-Based Tactics; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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 50 games tagged both Strategy RPG and Turn-Based Tactics priced $10 to $20. 16.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 18.3 in 100 for Strategy RPG-only games and 17.6 in 100 for Turn-Based Tactics-only games, so the mix is about level with Strategy RPG alone and is about level with Turn-Based Tactics alone.

Both: 50 games priced $10 to $20; 16.0 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 84 in 100 · $10k+ 46 in 100 · $100k+ 16 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 50 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.
