If you talk to gamers about the benefits of real-time battles and turn-based strategy in a role playing game you’ll find proponents of both styles. Fans of turn-based strategy argue that their preferred combat type is the best, allowing players more control and more flexibility. Fans of real-time combat will insist that turn-based strategy is unrealistic and takes away from the overall effect of the game. Fortunately for us the creative minds at Tannhauser Gate have brought us the best of both worlds. The fighting system in their new game, The Roots, is inventive- and its just the beginning of a great gaming experience.
