Hello Guys,
I have a doubt whether a particular animation is a 3d or 2d animation. Just see this video from time frame 0:30 and watch the character who is firing. I feel it's 2d and done either in sprite animation or skeletal animation (using spine etc). What you guys think about it?

This was done the same way. It's a 2D skeletal animation made in engine. No need for external software for something this simple.

The character was drawn from a almost top down angle, so the whole character just turns.

Do you think there were multiple images used depending on the angle? If so which are the parts mainly to consider?

I think its same image no extras added, Im working on animations on my game in Unity now, and I can say you can get same effect inside unity animator, and its 2d

Yes. I did a breakdown for you.
By looking at the video we can see there are 5 points where the images are changing. That is why the last image looks so wrong.
The character is made of: Head image, Body image, BackPack image, Left arm image, Right arm image, Left leg image, Right leg image. There also is a animated band but it is just attached to the head.
The objects are drawn from a top down view so that little change is needed to each. Mostly looks like the artist was using a perspective tool and filling in details. The arms and legs are just rotated.
The Head, body and backpack changes. The arms and legs remain the same but are mostly hidden.
Hope this helps.
