FOR REFERENCE

When it comes to defining and accurately tagging games, "Bullet Heaven" is not the only term that comes to mind. "Survivors-like" is also a widely recognized term. While both "Bullet Heaven" and "Survivors-like" tags may refer to similar games, they each have distinguishing features (similarly to existing Steam tags like deckbuilding, card game, roguelike-deckbuilding).
