Bullet heaven is likely what will stick. If you don’t like that it’s also the name of a game, consider that metroidvania contains the name of two games.
We’ve established a name already in the indie space for these. It’s a “horde survival shooter” damnit.
I’ve just been calling them exactly that: vampire survivors like. It’s a mouthful, so I’m open to the alternatives.
Too late it’s Vamvor.
Vampvore
roots in voreaphilia
Vampier
Survivor
Let’s just stick with survivor, or survivor-like. It works fine for roguelikes and soulslikes. No need to force a genre name.
Survival games are already a thing, though.
Other comments said it but I think bullet heaven is perfect
They’re already called reverse bullet hell?
I didn’t know that, but it fits. That or bullet heaven.
Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don’t clobber it with a genre name.
Looks like it’s too late. I Googled bullet heaven and it took a few minutes to find the actual game, which is ironically a bullet hell game.
What in the heck is a reverse bullet hell? If a bullet hell is “so many bullets” then I have to image it’s like… Not many bullets at all. That sounds too easy.
It should be more in inverse bullet hell: it’s hell, but not for you.
I didn’t come up with the name, that’s just what people have been calling it for as long as I can remember.
Normal bullet hell (Touhou): the enemies shoot a hell of bullets at you. And your job is to avoid it. Reverse bullet hell (Vampire Survivors): you shoot a hell of bullets at the enemies. And your job is to shoot even more, bigger, stronger bullets.
Just like Vampire Survivors!
Bullet Heaven
Bullet Heaven is an old bullet-hell game playable here. Naming the genre that is stupid.
No two things can ever share a name

This is the one I always hear these days.
I heard it from the Castle Superbeast podcast.
Yup, this is the one.
I thought it was already considered a reverse bullet-hell. But I do like Bullet heaven as well.

I’ve heard from at least one smaller channels that it’s a bullet heaven. That’s at least what they call this style of game.
Garliclike
lol saw this on a Steam Review and it is my favorite.
It’s an autoshooter isn’t it?
Vampire Survivors would be a rogue-like autoshooter.Like Backpack Battles is an autobattler.
I don’t know why people keep calling it rogue like. Rogue-likes have a lot more randomness than an easily manipulated item drop system. I don’t know that a random map is a necessity but it certainly needs something along those lines.
I’ve also heard Autoshooter. Seems as good of a genre name as any.
Digital crack
Dragon chaser
Freebase gaming
Addiction “simulator”
MOBA - massive onslaught bullet arena
FPS- Frantic Progression Survivor
Survive Em Up
I like my shootemup games personally
Swarm shooter, reverse bullet hell, or enemy hell
Yea it’s always been reverse bullet hell.
Which is why it’s always been bullet heaven
