Action-Adventure + RPG
Games tagged both Action-Adventure and RPG: 578 indie paid launches, 31 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Action-Adventure + RPG priced $10 to $20.
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.
Action-Adventure + RPG is about level with Action-Adventure and is about level with RPG: 17.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 14.5 in 100 for Action-Adventure and 17.6 in 100 for RPG.
That is about 1.0 times the 17.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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 105 games tagged both Action-Adventure and RPG priced $10 to $20. 17.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 13.9 in 100 for Action-Adventure-only games and 17.6 in 100 for RPG-only games, so the mix beats Action-Adventure alone and is about level with RPG alone.
Both: 105 games priced $10 to $20; 17.1 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $6,204.
