That's sort of the point of the 'roguelite' term, to describe games that are not what people used to call 'roguelikes' (i.e. games pretty similar to actual Rogue). The key element is repetition (a game that has 'runs' as a core part of its gameplay) - there are others but most things with that mechanic are called 'roguelites'.
