He says there are two options, one is slow motion and the other real-time with pause. I haven't played the game so don't know myself.

Doc is right - the pause completely stops the time in Dark Envoy and player can use it for a tactical purpose.

Feeling exactly the same. I don't really think there is any skill in turn based combat games. They are just a mathematical very well defined balance between victories and defeats. I prefer way more rtwp or just real time action.

Will definitely eventually get this. Have stuff to play at the moment, so can wait for a higher discount later down the line.
Not to mention often highly RNG dependent.

So skill must always be physical? Leaving turn-based video games aside, there's no skill involved in chess, or any other board game, or card games?

That said, do see RTwP, as long as it's tactical pause, can give any commands while the game's paused, as the best of both worlds (though some from here have very much the opposite view). Can stop time whenever you want and take stock of the situation and give commands, allowing way finer control than in turn-based, but things play out realistically in real time, which can't really happen in turn-based, and you can also leave it real time when it's easy enough to not require finer control, doing away with what may well be tedious moments in turn-based.

Then my apologies… but after all the (camera) Controls really feel clunky. So that point doesn‘t make any difference to me.

The other way around for me.
I really liked Tower of Time, although it might have been a bit too long for its own sake. It's maybe the only RTWP game I found good to play, unlike say (prepare for heresy here) Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 the flow is consistent, you don't need to pause every other second to have any chance to succeed and play what is de facto an extremely annoying turn based game masquerading as real time.
The combat system is also deepr than it might seem at first, with a well balanced difficulty that has you make an effort to synergize companion skills without gettign too demanding.

Still waiting for a sequel, there's material for greatness there.
