No. Only text-based games can be RPGs.

Every game is an RPG because you take the ROLE of someone other than yourself

RPGs can only be turn based.

Of course it does, top-down and isometric both have their faults when it comes to platforming, especially when it comes to judging height. Compare Alunda and Landstalker.

yeah but that's not the point. damage calculation, resistances, elements etc. work the same in a first person or 3rd person perspective RPG and 3D environment as it would work in a top-down isometric settting. but nice ragebait threadopener you had there.

Plenty of gachaslop does indeed have RPG gameplay though, that's undeniable.

RPG gameplay = daily grind + pray for pity rolls to get your PNG/3D model
Also timewalls and paywalls all the way

That said I've yet to see a isometric-styled gachaslop
