Combat

Battles are at the heart of the game and take place in real time. The player controls the main character, Zael, and moves freely around the battlefield using the special power he possesses - known as the "Gathering" - to support his allies and help the battle proceed more smoothly. You also have access to a variety of strategies relating to terrain, such as attacking from behind cover or destroying obstacles.

• 
  Push the Control Stick toward the enemy to automatically attack them, and press the B Button to adopt a defensive stance. Change to "Manual" controls and you can attack
  using the A Button rather than using automatic attacks.
• 
  Before the battle starts, you get a bird's eye view of the terrain, allowing you to survey the lie of the land.
