Bullet Heaven
This is the one I always hear these days.
I heard it from the Castle Superbeast podcast.
Yup, this is the one.

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.
Edit:
As raised in the comments, actually a rogue-lite as VS has meta-progression.
I've also heard Autoshooter. Seems as good of a genre name as any.
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.

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.
Metroidvania is a stupid name and always has been. I say this with those 2 series being 2 of my favourite and metroidvania being one of my favourite genres.
Bullet heaven isn't too bad though.

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.

They're already called reverse bullet hell?
Other comments said it but I think bullet heaven is perfect
I've heard "reverse bullet hell", it's decent.
I only heard bullet heaven
MOBA - massive onslaught bullet arena
FPS- Frantic Progression Survivor
RPG - Running, Progressively Gaining
Let's just stick with survivor, or survivor-like. It works fine for roguelikes and soulslikes. No need to force a genre name.
Too late it's Vamvor.
Vampvore
roots in voreaphilia
Vampier
Survivor
Digital crack
Dragon chaser
Freebase gaming
Addiction "simulator"
passive swarm shooter
I always thought of it as a Hord game
Boring after 20 minutes type games?
Its a passive horde survival game.
The game play is rotating the stick in a rough circle so you keep moving that you can do without even having to look at the screen while you hoover up tiny pellets that make you stronger to survive more blobs of color on the screen.
Have any of you ever tried risk of rain or heck even cuphead? You can have rapid gameplay and a point to it.
This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time.

Sometimes that's just what you need. Vampire survivors is my go to for when I burnt out from work and don't want to think anymore but need something to do.
