Niche

Turn-Based Combat + Turn-Based Strategy

Games tagged both Turn-Based Combat and Turn-Based Strategy: 225 indie paid launches, 20 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 26,280 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 64 games tagged both Turn-Based Combat and Turn-Based Strategy priced $10 to $20. 15.6 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 16.5 in 100 for Turn-Based Combat-only games and 15.6 in 100 for Turn-Based Strategy-only games, so the mix is about level with Turn-Based Combat alone and is about level with Turn-Based Strategy alone.

Both: 64 games priced $10 to $20; 15.6 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $12,173.
