Screen rotation ?

[Steven]

I seen the game is 3d, in game play video but was wondering if any one knew if they will have screen rotation at all or will you be stuck in a one view point from side all time as if its 2d game ?

You won't be able to see a scene from an other perspective.
The textures are basically 2D images, the 3D frame is used for the lightning and characters.

Not that 2D games couldn't offer rotation (openTTD, RollercoasterTycoon).

Edit
Because it's nice:
Article about the isometric art, by Mike McCain, head of the art team at HBS[harebrained-schemes.com]

Lighting - Thanks to some really cool engineering work, we’re able to place directional and point lights within our environments. How does lighting in a 2D game work? The short version is, our art is projected onto some simple 3D geometry so that each prop or tile can receive light from the appropriate directions. Placing lights in our editor is a bit fiddly, but with some trial and error you can get some really nice results from it.

So basically it is a 2D game.
I'm not even sure if a 3D world would make it an better game.
Yes, x-com:eu did a very nice job, on a turn-based tactical game.
Seeing HBS made this game as a small studio on a Kickstarter budget. There choice for these high quality textures in an isometric perspective makes for a stunning good looking game. While fast and easy to work with so they can create lots of objects, maps, and a longer more complex 'real rpg' storyline.

^ What he said. The environments are semi-2D. What 3D elements they have aren't enough to allow the camera to rotate.

They have been aware of the issues with isometric perspectives and no camera rotation for a long while, though.

Not to mention every asset is hand drawn.

pathfinder: kingmaker also doesn't have rotation and looks exactly the same as this game but textures prolly 3D because there is a workshop item which lets you rotate the camera and it works great.
