[quote name='veronesepk']Stupid question, but what's the combat like? I watched the IGN review, and it seems a little bit looser and more developed than most. Is the combat anything like the Mass Effect series?[/QUOTE]
Picture dynasty warriors without combos.
Seriously though, for much of the game you can just whack things. Some bosses require you to command your party members to throw certain spells on the ground, basically circles that you stand in for buffs or that deal damage to enemies. You also have a magical lure abilitiy that makes all enemies follow you, so the point is to make them step into the circles.
Sort of mindless, but you'll always be hitting something. Also, frame rate can get bad.
