A better explanation

The idea is something between an RTS and a traditional beat-em-up. You control four characters of your choosing -- each character has a different attack, but everyone only has one attack

Wouldn't it be a bit easier to control if Q/W/E/R simply selected a character and from then on the mouse context-sensitivley attacked or moved?

I don't think so -- if that's the case, then you have to select each one individually. This way, though, if you want them all to run in one group, you can hold down all of the buttons at the same time.
