Recommended Posts

From these games.

Warcraft I
Warcraft II

I was just curious which games were '2D' and '3D', or were all '2D' with the illusion of '3D', and Im not very expert on this, but it's every '2D' games with or without illusion of '3D' does it uses 'sprites'?

Thanks for reading ^^

Isometric view differs from top-down view by having everything placed under the same angle (usually 90°) and not distorting elements in different ways to each other or the surroundings.

StarCraft 1 is not 2.5D because everything is drawn through sprites. Red Alert 2 is because vehicles and certain turrets are displayed through voxels, which are 3D, while the rest is 2D sprites.
