Roleplaying isn't about playing a set role indeed, but it can be in the RPG genre.
It is about DEVELOPING a role, this can happen in the same character, but as long as you can develop your player character in different ways, then it is a Roleplaying game.
And there is also such a thing of combining genres. Turn based combat is a feature undefined of genre as strategy games also can be turn based, so that is out of it.
Castlevania is a sidescrolling action platformer roleplaying game. That's the full title, but few see 'elements' only as such, and not as a genre when it defines one. But it actually does. And when there is character development, it is a roleplaying game.
