    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’.

      a commonly agreed upon term

      God, I wish. No, there’s like a dozen. Off the top of my head, I’ve heard

      Survivorlike
      Arena Survival
      Bullet Survival
      Reverse Bullet Hell
      Bullet Heaven
      Bullet Shooter
      Survival Shooter
      Autoshooter
      Horde Shooter
      Horders
      Anti-tower defence

      If any one of them gained prominance, we could have a steam tag, but nobody will agree, so here we are
