Problem with realistic perspective in side scroller games is that you can't stack those object. Realistic perspective is based on stationary view. If you walk to the left or right perspective of one object is changed and therefore it should be drawn again which is impossible. This is the reason game perspective is just an approximation of real perspective.

For example this looks wrong.


This is why you should base your work on examples of game perspective and not realistic perspective. Find game which look and perspective you like and learn from it.  :)

What type of RPG?

Top down like old JRPG games?
A side-scroller like castlevania?

The house where you can see the top of the roof, could be used for a top down RPG
The flat house can be used for a side-scroller.

ya thats wrong to, it would look like that.  As you can see each box is a different shape, so its unreasonable to use one point perspective for a game because you couldnt reuse any assets that way.  Which is why 2d games dont use realistic perspective.

I would like a top down view

that's not topdown
topdown looks like that:

example from Hotline Miami

What you currently have there is an orthogonal axonometric projection with a viewing angle of 45°
The more handy term usually used for that kind of graphical representation is "RPG-projection" (because it was established and used by most of the classic early RPGs)

the difference between perspective and projection are the vanishing points.
For any projection the vanishing point(s) is approximating infinity, which means that the consequence is that all the axis are parallel.
Although since we are operating in a 2D space, rather than in a 3D space, we can deliberately break rules to enhance the form, like you did with the counter top of the shop.
