Showing Action Roguelike + Action-Adventure priced $10 to $20, west-facing view. 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 trails Action Roguelike and is level with Action-Adventure; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.
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.

That is about 1.7 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 35 games tagged both Action Roguelike and Action-Adventure priced $10 to $20. 31.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 26.2 for Action Roguelike-only games and 14.2 for Action-Adventure-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 35 games priced $10 to $20; 31.4 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $8,247.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 35 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 west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
