Crimon Gem Saga is a classic RPG first published in 2008. (It has been published under different names, including Astonishia Story 2 and Garnet Chronicle). Combat is turn-based, with an ambush-twist: if a player tap a monster from behind, they get an immediate full-force attack, and monsters can do the same. There's also an escape-battle feature, where you need to tap at the right time for a successful exit. World-wise, as RPGfan notes, it "follows the basic town-field-dungeon formula" of classic RPGs. Enemies can move about twice as fast as the player. It's quite a long RPG, with at least 40 hours of gameplay.
