======Isometric Perspective======
//also known as: Axonometric projection.//((I am certainly not against using this label primarily.))

{{:fig:pattern:kupka_frantisek_-_katedrala.jpg?180 }}Isometric/Asonometric projection is a way of representing three-dimensional space without realistic perspective, where more than face of an object becomes visible.

More commonly games described as such will use [[wp>oblique projection]], but 'isometric' is an effective term for discussing games with a skewed, three-dimensional perspective. Most typically characters in these games will be restricted to diagonal movements, and the awkwardness of these being an important mechanic in some action/adventure games.
