Niches / Turn-Based Tactics + Wargame

Niche

Turn-Based Tactics + Wargame

Games tagged both Turn-Based Tactics and Wargame: 79 indie paid launches, 4 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 16 games tagged both Turn-Based Tactics and Wargame priced $10 to $20. 0 of 16 of them earned $100k+, against 14.6 in 100 for Turn-Based Tactics-only games and 16.4 in 100 for Wargame-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Turn-Based Tactics alone and is too small to compare with Wargame alone.

Both: 16 games priced $10 to $20; 0 of 16 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $8,356.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 16 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.
