"Roguelite" isn't really a genre, but a catchall for many types of game that use some elements that are common in roguelikes, but aren't really roguelikes.

I mean, Nova Drift and Inscryption are roguelites, but they just aren't in the same genre of game at all. One's an action Asteroids-like game, and the other a turn-based deckbuilder.
