Niche

Action Roguelike + Score Attack

Games tagged both Action Roguelike and Score Attack: 45 indie paid launches, 3 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".
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Action Roguelike + Score Attack priced under $5, 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 beats both its tags; priced under $5 it is level with Action Roguelike and is level with Score Attack.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 31 games tagged both Action Roguelike and Score Attack priced under $5. 0.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 0.3 for Action Roguelike-only games and 0.0 for Score Attack-only games, so the mix is level with Action Roguelike alone and is level with Score Attack alone.

Both: 31 games priced under $5; 0.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $182.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 31 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.
