Sort of a combination of both. You can move around freely during battle, and you can assign certain attacks to buttons (or access them through the radial menu), but the game is very tactics based.

Every time you pull up the radial menu, the game pauses. So you can bring up the radial menu, then queue up an attack/spell/talent for every character, then unpause and let them go. So you can set up one mage to freeze an enemy, and another to shatter them with a rock spell or something.

But you don't even have to do that unless you're on a high difficulty, you can beat the game just playing as your one character and letting the programmable tactics do their work.
