Steam Overhauls Tags, Ditches Old Labels, Welcomes 'Bullet Heaven' Era

Valve is overhauling Steam’s official store tags for clearer discovery, adding 17 new tags, removing 28, and updating a few (e.g., Conversation to dialogue heavy, clicker to incremental). Notable removals include Dungeons & Dragons, LEGO, Warhammer 40K, 3D Vision, and NSFW, while new tags cover niche genres like Bullet Heaven (for Vampire Survivors-style games), Desktop Companion, Organizing, Cleaning, Decorating, Wuxia, Xianxia, Falling Blocks, Espionage, Samurai, Zoo, Animals, Cult, Poker, and Language Learning. The purge signals a move toward more specific classifications and reflects Steam’s ongoing effort to improve recommendations and curation, with Singleplayer and Indie remaining among the most dominant tags.

Vampire Crawlers: A Slower, Card-Based Take on Vampire Survivors

Vampire Crawlers shifts Vampire Survivors’ chaos into a slower, deck-building dungeon crawler where you spend mana on cards, build combos by the order you play them, and earn permanent upgrades between runs. It preserves the core hook while enabling more strategic pacing, though some may find the grind and repetition increasing as difficulty ramps up.
