    Tenchu 2 Remake - Camera angle?

    For those who haven't played it, read this first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenchu_2

    We're thinking of re-making it in 2D, for fun and experience. The biggest problem we're having at the moment is a problem we didn't think we'd have: "camera angle".

    Given the type of game Tenchu 2 is, which camera angle do you think would best suit a 2D version? Our first guess is either birds eye or orthographic.

    Any other comments or guidance welcome, as always. We be stuck!!

    We talked about this for a while and decided against it on the grounds that it'd remove a lot of depth from the gameplay; it'd end up being a Shinobi remake.

    Although, we could go into a side-on view during some swordplay or something. Worth thinking about.

    Could you do an isometric, kinda thing. Or would that be considered 3d?
