I always wondered why games like that are not mainstream, because right off the bat I can't name any game where the camera is looking down on the character. Fighter games are either done in “2D view” (like in Mortal Kombat or Tekken) or it's done in first or third-person view (Skyrim, DmC).
The exceptions are RPGs (like Pillars of Eternity), but those games aren't really action RPGs, they're more niche with their own systems.
Other exception is of course Hades, possibly the only game that became mainstream with his combat style. ? Am I wrong on this observation or is there merit to this? Thanks. ?
