Enemies and NPCs are only able to move or attack when the player character moves; otherwise, they stay still. Most often this is seen in roguelikes and games with grid-based movement.
Gameplay type emphasizing deliberately paced tactical battle where each side politely takes turns moving and attacking one another through varied forms of combat.
Turn-based games divide game actions into distinct parts, called turns. This gives the player time to strategically choose actions as the battle or events unfold.
