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.

Bullet Heaven.
I’ve heard it called 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!
Horde something I think? Horde shooter is fps wave style games, so top down horde… Thing.
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
survivors-like
