is there a way to make the game auto play?

like in fire emblem awakening?

Absolutely not.

The SDG-Series actually lacks QoL-features that are usually standard in turn-based strategy nowadays. Like scrolling through unturned units with the push of a button, for instance.

Most of the effort usually goes into improving the visuals, while the game-engine itself remains fairly bare-bones.

This actually exists in the options, but it's not intuitive. You can change "1" and "3" to scroll only units that can still act.

Also: If you use "1" and "3" when selecting an enemy for an attack, you will scroll through available targets (useful for Warship and Raid group attacks).

Technically there's the "Move All" option, which causes everyone in the same group that can still act to follow the unit that you moved, and automatically attack nearby enemies.

Not sure why you'd want to do that unless the entire group is far away from the current action and you just want to move everyone asap, or you just want to mob up cannon fodder. I doubt such an option can ever beat the actual player in terms of positioning and attacking.

Though if you just want to speed things up, there are quite a few options for that in the settings to speed up or skip various map animations.

Once I discovered I could REMOVE move all from the menus, I did it immediately. After a few incidents on slipping on move all by mistake, I got so annoyed by it I wanted it gone. Forever.

At least if you want to level your units/pilots, you have dispatch missions so they can get better when you aren't playing. Or when you're playing with your 2 main groups.

IMO may as well just watch Youtube gameplays, if auto play was added...;)
