No, we don't know what that means either, but according to the GAFfers who posted the latest scans from Famitsu, that's the genre for Sting's Knights in the Nightmare. You may know Sting as the developers (three times over) of Baroque, soon to be released on the Wii by Atlus. This new game is much less creepy, and much more cutesy.Knights in the Nightmare puts the player into the ephemeral, energy-based shoes of a "wisp" who gives commands to knights in battle by occupying them. You'll have to "program" the knights to protect the wisp from from attacking demons. According to the quick translation, the "turn-based real-time" aspect means that there are offensive and defensive turns that run in real-time, which we can only assume means something like the Active Time Battle system.
Sting is planning to release this strategy game some time this year. The full scan is after the break!

In addition, you may recognize Sting as the former front-man of the American reggae-influenced rock band "the Police", and possibly you know him as Ace Face, the feisty scooter-riding idol in Quadrophenia. If memory serves me, Sting also served as the namesake for Bilbo Baggins' acquired knife in Tolkein's beloved tales, in addition to being the source of the word "sting", meaning a pain caused by a sharp prick.

Sting's notoriety not withstanding... :P
Wouldn't a turned based RTS simply be a Turn-Based Strategy game then? (TBS)

No, you fool. It's turn-based. In REAL TIME!
