Depends on what you mean by an RPG. The genre is defined by a player's character getting stronger through an increase in attributes that affect their play. Everything else that has been tacked on since RPGs were designed is just gameplay to make them flashier.
So if you mean that its not an rpg in respects to spawning with armor and weapons, or keeping the same ones over and over, that really doesn't have anything to do with the rpg genre. And if you think back to the original doom and wolfenstein games, you always spawned with your weapons and amor even after death. Least I'm pretty sure you did . . .
Anyways, the point is, Huxley will probably not have strength, stamina etc. But that doesn't exclude it from the fun gameplay elements that have been put into practice since rolling some dice to choose whether you hit a monster or not.
