It's either a roguelike or a metroidvania.

Eh, on the roguelikes, but metroidvanias are typically fairly good. Not always, but some of my favorite games are metroidvanias.
Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Strike three.

What is wrong with rogue like again? Why does everyone hate it and why did it cause this topic to be made?

Who hurt you?
Trends be like

Zombies Survival & Crafting Roguelite Deck Builder "Survivors"

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Well, for one it's even less designed than your typical open world game, but that doesn't bother me as much as being unwinnable. Even after you unlock everything, the game still kicks your ass.

I've more commonly seen them called bullet heavens. Vampire Survivors was the first(?) one.

Basically, you have dozens/hundreds/thousands of enemies thrown at you that drop XP. When you level up, you choose between different weapons and upgrades. They're called bullet heaven because they're the opposite of bullet hells; by the end of a match, you're throwing thousands of projectiles.

Unlike normal idle games there's things you have to actively do on the stages to unlock certain things and progress the game but once you have done all those things yeah it's an idle game.
