Side Scrolling Games With Voice Acting?

[[OT]Nekrage]

I always hated side scrolling games if jumping is their main feature. I recently found a game called Trek to Yomi which has combat, voice acting and a good story.

Does anyone have any suggestions for side scrolling games that meet that criteria?

Combat (not a platformer)
Voice Acted
Good story

Appreciate the suggestions!

I don't unfortunately at least not like Trek to Yomi. That game is awesome especially if you love Akira Kurosawa films.

I'm not sure about the "jumping" aspect -- I'm not all that good with "genre" definitions...

I haven't seen a lot of story yet, but I'm currently playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The dialogue-scenes are voice-acted.

I would also like to mention the Trine series. Aside from Trine 3 (disclaimer: I don't have Trine 5 yet), they are in 2D. And Trine 3, in my opinion, was the worst Trine ever (and the fact they returned to 2D for Trine 4 suggests that I might even have allies within Frozenbyte about that). Anything 3D in the video I posted is either a cutscene or Trine 3 gameplay.

Super Neptunia RPG is actually a JRPG; this time around it's in 2D, though -- there's an in-universe reason for this as well, as explained in the story. This means the combat is still in separate screens, and only the exploration part is the usual 2D sidescrolling.

Thanks a ton for the suggestion! Bloodstained looks awesome!
