I can say a bit about it, no problem.
It's turn-based, and you're always in "turn" mode when you walk, but when there are no enemies around, you can obviously make your character walk as long/far as you want, and the movement is fast. The game consists basically of going map-to-map, which can be seen as mini-missions. You enter a map and must defeat all the enemies in the region to "liberate" it, and only when you do it and leave the map your characters gain experience. Each character has four slots for equipable items (weapon, armor, accessory and "tool", or something like that), and 2 extra slots for "miscellaneous items" - that usually are healing items such as food and potions. (Edit/add: you can get more slots when leveling up, depending on your choices.)
Combat is essentially "simple". Clicking with the right button on an enemy makes you attack it. If you are next to the enemy, it's (usually) a hand-to-hand attack, if you are away, you use a ranged attack (if your're able to do it). Clicking in yourself makes you go into defense mode. Clicking on an ally makes you use "cure" on it, if you have magic. And that's basically it. An extra point is that if you hold SHIFT, you enter a "risk" mode, where your actions are performed more quickly (which makes your next turn come faster, sometimes allowing you to do two actions in sequence ), however whenever you do such an action, your risk bar increases in a variable amount. If it's filled, you will "fumble" and lose your action and be more vulnerable to damage.
But you should try the demo. The game isn't only combat, you can interact with NPCs, and there are plenty of hidden things to find.
I remember this developer. I believe he made a few adventure games before this "FF Tactics with homo-orcs". Does it have choices and consequences too? If it does, it should be considered the Codex's game of the year.
