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.
Survival games are already a thing, though.
So? SurvivAL is not the same as survivOR.
Seems like an insufficient difference for two genres that are so distinct. Plenty of opportunities for confusion.
Action, Adventure, and Action-Adventure are all different genres. I think people will figure it out.

I thought it was a survivor-like?
I've always heard Arena Survival
Isn't it already Arena?
Robotron 2084 clones?
Haha, it is very similar, but I think robotron is a twin-stick shooter since you control movement and the shooting.
Its one of my favorite games though, my grandfather had the actual arcade cabinet.
I've just been calling them exactly that: vampire survivors like. It's a mouthful, so I'm open to the alternatives.
The genre is ASS games. Can't go wrong with that.
It's a horde survival shooter with upgrades
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
