On a semi-related note: Is there a commonly agreed upon term for games like ‘Vampire Survivors’ yet and does it have its own tag on Steam?
So far, I’ve only found ‘Action Roguelike’, but that one has a lot of games that are, well, action based Roguelikes, like ‘Binding of Isaac’ and ‘Risk of Rain’.
For Steam, not yet. Thy might eventually go the “Open World Survival Crafting” route and combine the popular tags to one, but for now they are Bullet Hell + Action Roguelike.

Reverse bullet hell
I call them arcade style games.
I like Arcade Style. I could see putting coins in and using a single joystick to play it on an arcade box.
Exactly!
survivors-like
Looks like bullet hell rogue-like, though I haven’t played it to know for sure. Search for those two genres together.
Bullet heaven is what I’ve heard as an antithesis of bullet hell. You’re the source of the bullets.
I call them Horders
I’ve heard it called Reverse Bullet Hell
Bullet hell maybe?
Horde something I think? Horde shooter is fps wave style games, so top down horde… Thing.
Bullet Heaven.
God, I wish. No, there’s like a dozen. Off the top of my head, I’ve heard
If any one of them gained prominance, we could have a steam tag, but nobody will agree, so here we are
Yeah, it’s kinda telling when I explicitly ask if there’s a commonly used term yet and I get like a dozen of different answers.
