Archvale is a Roguelite mashup of SNES-era Zelda mixed with bullet-hell, "shmup" gameplay. It's certainly unique and at 30-45 minutes of gameplay, I'm not sure it's for me at this point in my gaming career, but I voted

Action-RPG
Roguelite
Hack & Slash
Shoot 'em up

It's quite simple - role playing w/ shoot 'em up elements

Roguelike
Action Adventure
Bullet Hell

Not a Roguelite because you lose half your gold on death. "Roguelite games are defined by permanent character death, randomized levels and/or maps with varying items, item locations, enemies, and/or bosses each playthrough."

Started this game yesterday, and this is definitely NOT a roguelite game.

It's a great mix of The legend of Zelda game (NES/SNES) with Manic Shooter (bullet hell) elements.

Yeah, it’s not a roguelite at all.

It does have procedurally-generated worlds, but no permadeath, so yeah, not a roguelite. I think I'd agree with shmup, though. Even though you just go from room to room instead of scrolling, the gameplay loop is very reminiscent of a bullet-hell shmup.
