Top-Down + Turn-Based Tactics

Games tagged both Top-Down and Turn-Based Tactics: 88 indie paid launches, 5 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.

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 14 games tagged both Top-Down and Turn-Based Tactics priced $10 to $20. 3 of 14 of them earned $100k+, against 17.0 in 100 for Top-Down-only games and 16.6 in 100 for Turn-Based Tactics-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Top-Down alone and is too small to compare with Turn-Based Tactics alone.

Both: 14 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 14 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 11 of 14 launches · $10k+ 7 of 14 launches · $100k+ 3 of 14 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 14 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.
