Medieval + RPG
Games tagged both Medieval and RPG: 230 indie paid launches, 17 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Medieval + RPG priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails Medieval and is level with RPG; priced $10 to $20 it is level with Medieval and beats RPG.
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.
Medieval + RPG is level with Medieval and beats RPG: 24.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 24.6 in 100 for Medieval and 18.5 in 100 for RPG.
That is about 1.3 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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 37 games tagged both Medieval and RPG priced $10 to $20. 24.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 24.7 for Medieval-only games and 18.2 for RPG-only games, so the mix is level with Medieval alone and beats RPG alone.
