Not to be rude, but, isn't what makes Metroidvania games Metroidvania games the fact that they're sidescrollers? Otherwise it's kind of just... an RPG. Where you find weapons or equipment or stuff to get through a path or to make travel easier... making it just an RPG.
But uh, at least you're offering compensation for your offer, which is better than most requests like this on here, not like it sounds like much for how big of a project this would be. I mean, how'd your last game sell? That might be a thing people want to know, if they're actually gonna be guaranteed at least something decent.
... well, there's my two bits.
edit: oh wait, whoops, guess I didn't read it too carefully "the game often swaps between two perspectives – Top Down and Side-Scrolling." Well, my point I guess is that it's usually the sidescrolling combat, not the movement style that makes most Metroidvania games, but eh.
