Is this an adventure game? Kind of looks like an rpg with combat?

It is considered an adventure game just like Stasis and Cayne, it's predecessors were. It may not play like every ones cup of tea because it does contain some darkside elements, but it has a large adventure game following. so, despite the fact It could indeed be a darkside game as well, I am sticking with where the other games were announced.

From GOG's bullet points for the game:

Quote
- Point-and-click puzzles and classic adventure gameplay.
- An 80's retro technology look and feel.
- A story-driven adventure set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future.
- A unique tribal punk aesthetic and 2D isometric rendered environments.
- African landscapes captured with photogrammetry and scale model elements.
- Bizarre creatures, animals and vibrant characters await.


Apparently there is a self-contained combat mini-game area called The Arena, about which the developer said this on Steam:

Quote
Hey TBoneX. The Arena is essentially a contained puzzle (mini game) in an area of the game. Don't worry, we are not making an RPG smile


And The Arena is optional.

Despite what I had posted above "I don't find the look of this game appealing at all", I kept going back to this game. When I saw it on sale under $7.00 I bought it. I don't know when I'll ever play it, though I've been thinking that I should make myself download it and and least test it out since I did buy it. I have BAAGS on top of my BAAGS!
