Niche

Party-Based RPG + Turn-Based Combat

Games tagged both Party-Based RPG and Turn-Based Combat: 107 indie paid launches, 8 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.
  • From 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 42 games tagged both Party-Based RPG and Turn-Based Combat priced $10 to $20. 14.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 7.1 in 100 for Party-Based RPG-only games and 21.7 in 100 for Turn-Based Combat-only games, so the mix beats Party-Based RPG alone and trails Turn-Based Combat alone.

Both: 42 games priced $10 to $20; 14.3 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 90 in 100 · $10k+ 55 in 100 · $100k+ 14 in 100.
