On Steam I often read the term “Danmaku”, but I think that’s just the Japanese word for “bullet hell”? I dunno.

弾幕 (read: danmaku) is literally translated as “bullet curtain” to refer to a barrage of bullets that are so close together they form some kind of veil, or curtain. But yeah, it’s what we know as “bullet hell” in English.

I’ve seen Vampire Survivors referred to as “reverse bullet hell” at some point, but didn’t look like that stick.

I think I’ve seen them referred to as “bullet heaven” as well, seeing as they’re reverse bullet hell as you said
