Hi John, The original Castlevania games were 2d side-scrollers. However, this is only loosely based on those games. My game would be uniquely my own, but feature similar enemies and game play elements. So if I wanted to do it in an FPS format that would only improve the game in my opinion rather than detract from it.
One reason I feel FPS would be an improvement is I could use an actual castle layout, and create it to scale in the game world. I could create various passages, rooms, winding wooden staircases, etc to give you the feel of being in a ancient spooky castle. Plus with 3d comes a variety of extra movements such as the ability to jump left, right, ahead, backward, or straight up. You can spin in place, sidestep left or right, etc. There are a lot of things that could be added to improve the game over a 2d side-scroller in terms of realism. Cheers!
