History Main / ThreeQuartersView

* ''RimWorld'' for the local map where the main gameplay (player colony, caravan encounters etc.) takes place; the world map uses TopDownView.

* ''VideoGame/StardewValley''

Despite console games having largely abandoned this style in favor of full 3D graphics, it remains popular in handheld systems due to the lower demands on the system, although its appearances even there are growing rarer as portable hardware grows more powerful.

Very popular during the 16-bit era for {{JRPG}}s.

** [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI The original]], at least was a very strange example that mixed top-down and ¾ view in the same game. Walls were top-down, and trees and stumps were a squashed ¾ view.
** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' primarily used a side-view for its action segments, and only used a ¾ view for its overworld.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' had quite a good ¾ view for its sprites, though inside walls were top-down.
*** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' reuses the same ¾ view as ''A Link to the Past'' despite having 3D graphics, though it changes into a close-up view when Link turns into a painting. [[http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss298/thatother1dude/fuckingeuclidhowdoesitwork.jpg The way the game achieves this]] is a rather hilarious demonstration of liberties this trope takes with real-life perspective: they make ''everything'' lean back to an absurd degree to give the illusion of ¾ view.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}''. The move to the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS with Gen 4 allowed them to use more a proper perspective, though this trope still applied when in buildings. They avert the trope in a few towns in Gen 5.
