That question will depend on the individual. Certainly Daemonica is walking a fine line. It's not just about number, though, but about the nature of the combat. Since you can stand there completely invincible unless you screw up in this game, it just won't really strike anyone as very genuine. It's more a timing exercise than anything, and there are plenty of those in regular adventures. You can die, yes, but you almost have to be trying to.

But yeah, if anything it's an action-adventure hybrid, not an action-roleplaying hybrid, as there's really none of the elements normally associated with roleplaying (leveling, stats, character classes, upgrades, etc.) Except its presentation, of course, since it looks like 90% of the RPGs out there.
