This is from the Categories portion of the Steam home page. Flabergasted me and I had to snip it.

Do I just completely misunderstand what a Rogue-Like is?

    No, at best you could call it a roguelite because of the harsh death penalty, but even that’s a stretch. Seems Valve messed up its classification here, or maybe the artist got confused while labeling the picture.

      I thought it might be a weird art thing too, but all of the games are listed under the category on the store page. It’s definitely odd.
