You're viewing a single thread.
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'.

Survivorlike
Arena Survival
Bullet Survival
Reverse Bullet Hell
Bullet Heaven
Bullet Shooter
Survival Shooter
Autoshooter
Horde Shooter
Horders
Anti-tower defenceIf any one of them gained prominance, we could have a steam tag, but nobody will agree, so here we are

Bullet heaven is what I’ve heard as an antithesis of bullet hell. You’re the source of the bullets.

1 0 ReplyFor 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.
