Card Battler + RPG

Games tagged both Card Battler and RPG: 109 indie paid launches, 10 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 31 games tagged both Card Battler and RPG priced $10 to $20. 19.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 28.4 in 100 for Card Battler-only games and 20.3 in 100 for RPG-only games, so the mix trails Card Battler alone and is about level with RPG alone.

Both: 31 games priced $10 to $20; 19.4 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 87 in 100 · $10k+ 55 in 100 · $100k+ 19 in 100.
