Confrontation the computer game plays like a cross between Baldur's Gate and Spellforce. Combat is initiated by pointing the party to attack the enemies. Pause the game with the spacebar, and add in various characters skills to enhance damage and gameplay during combat. The character skills may be divided into damage, support, buff, anti-magic and control. For example, use Zelia's stun skill (control) to immobilize an enemy and then allow the four heroes to pound the enemy to submission.
