13 Sentinels Aegis Rim (PS4) 01 Researching Vanillaware Visual Novels With Turn-Based Combat
013 Sentinels: Aegis Rim's combat is not a realtime strategy really. As in Grandia and Final Fantasy 4 & 6, the combat is turn-based.
Combat starts from a menu, and each action takes place immediately, while the units are paused. After all active units have performed their actions, the combat proceeds in realtime until a unit's cooldown period ends.
Players can control the action even more by allowing time to pass, before performing an action. If the player wants enemies to move into firing range, time can be advanced without penalty, until the player wants to perform an action. This means units can freely wait for enemies to move, without wasting a turn.
The player is also allowed to freely move units, without acting. In this case, the unit can be ordered to moved along a path. The unit will not move until the player allows combat to proceed in realtime. This movement can be cancelled at any time, in order to perform an action.
