Well, it's more of an RPG instead of an action game. You can pick an opponent, and it gives you the results of the attack. Here's the results of a battle I won recently:

I like it. It's not something that you can do all day long, since all the actions are timed. 15 min have to go by between battles. Mercenary missions are done for an hour each day (and are the most profitable). Or you can use the job option in case you are going to be away from you computer for a few hours.
Have fun
