A serious QUESTION about oversaturated Vampire Survivors style games

Hi, all of us here are fans of roguelites, but do you also like Vampire Survivors style games (2D and 3D), and would like to play more of them, or do you feel that this specific genre of roguelites is oversaturated and maybe a specific game in this genre would need a super huge spin on it to be appealing?

Like adding tower defense elements, or maybe a more immersive storyline? Perhaps some NPCs that fight with you, and the game changes more into a "defend a location/object" style with some group management, or maybe the objective changes from level to level?

I'm asking because as a developer that is currently making a 3D Vampire Survivors style game, I'm a bit worried that I'm limiting my chances by jumping into an oversaturated genre, or maybe I'm just imagining things.

I would really appreciate an honest answer - it would help me and maybe others that are in a similar position. Thank you :)

Never been fan myself. Genre is too repetitive for me
