I always thought of it as a Hord game

I call them circle spawners. The enemies spawn in a rough circle around you and close in. I think you can modify that with other terms depending on the specifics of what the game adds in.

Walking Death Simulator

It's a horde survival shooter with upgrades

Attack-Evader

We've established a name already in the indie space for these. It's a "horde survival shooter" damnit.

Not to be confused with the plain old "horde shooter" like your helldivers 2 and what not

I thought it was a survivor-like?

I've always heard Arena Survival

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.

I've just been calling them exactly that: vampire survivors like. It's a mouthful, so I'm open to the alternatives.

Robotron 2084 clones?

Isn't it already Arena?
