No, Steam, they're not "bullet hell action roguelikes".

    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.

      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.

      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.
