Side view

Genre
Side view video games are played from a lateral view of the player character. The side view is fixed to a 2D movement, although it can include 3D graphics in the models and backgrounds. The perspective is characteristic of 2D platformer, 2D fighting and several shoot 'em up sub-genres.
