Niches / JRPG + Turn-Based Combat

Niche

JRPG + Turn-Based Combat

Games tagged both JRPG and Turn-Based Combat: 170 indie paid launches, 12 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 JRPG + Turn-Based Combat priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with JRPG and trails Turn-Based Combat; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 61 games tagged both JRPG and Turn-Based Combat priced $10 to $20. 13.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 9.2 for JRPG-only games and 20.1 for Turn-Based Combat-only games, so the mix beats JRPG alone and trails Turn-Based Combat alone.

Both: 61 games priced $10 to $20; 13.1 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,060.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 61 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.
