Well, the genre is named after the game Rogue. The naming is comparable to Metroidvania.

LOL, that isn't even a rogue-like: "Cryptark is a high-speed roguelike shooter"
Rogue is a turn-based dungeon-crawling RPG with randomly generated dungeons and permadeath. Maybe Cryptark is with permadeath, but high-speed shooter is so NOT rogue-like.
"Roguelike is a subgenre of role-playing video games, characterized by procedural generation of game levels, turn-based gameplay, tile-based graphics, permanent death of the player-character, and typically based on a high fantasy narrative setting."
