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’.

Bullet Heaven.
I’ve heard it called Reverse Bullet Hell

I call them arcade style games.

Reverse bullet hell
I call them Horders
survivors-like
Bullet heaven is what I’ve heard as an antithesis of bullet hell. You’re the source of the bullets.
Looks like bullet hell rogue-like, though I haven’t played it to know for sure. Search for those two genres together.
Bullet hell maybe?
