Niches / Action Roguelike + Shooter

Niche

Action Roguelike + Shooter

Games tagged both Action Roguelike and Shooter: 390 indie paid launches, 18 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 + Shooter priced $10 to $20, last 18 months, hiding samples under 30 launches. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of 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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Action Roguelike + Shooter trails both its tags: 17.5 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 26.9 in 100 for Action Roguelike and 19.5 in 100 for Shooter.

That is about 0.9 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.

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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 57 games tagged both Action Roguelike and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 17.5 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 29.4 for Action Roguelike-only games and 19.9 for Shooter-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 57 games priced $10 to $20; 17.5 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $10,930.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 57 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.
