"There are a few terms that have been bandied around for games that resemble Vampire Survivors. "Auto-shooter" matches a lot of the games on this list, but a fair few require manually aiming at the enemies you're trying to kill. "Reverse bullet hell" is far too many words for it to catch on, and "bullet heaven" is a derivative of the popular bullet hell genre, but it at least captures just how quickly the screen fills with high-damaging projectiles that melt foes."
"No matter what your definition of choice is, Vampire Survivors definitely inspired a fair few developers to make their own take on these simple yet compelling roguelike games. These games like Vampire Survivors all have a relatively inexpensive cost to play, and yet will last you a good while, as each run unlocks either more ways to fill the screen with bullets or new maps to explore."
Games resembling Vampire Survivors are often described with several informal labels, including "Auto-shooter", "reverse bullet hell", and "bullet heaven". Some of these games require manual aiming despite the "auto-shooter" label. The term "bullet heaven" conveys the way screens fill with high-damaging projectiles that quickly eliminate enemies. Vampire Survivors inspired many developers to create simple, compelling roguelike variants that prioritize overwhelming firepower and replayability. These titles are relatively inexpensive, provide lengthy play sessions, and unlock new weapons, ways to saturate the screen with bullets, or new maps across runs.
