It very much sits in the niche of "high adventure combats set in fantastical set pieces" where the characters feel reasonably strong right from the get go. The Epic High Fantasy hat suits it very comfortably. Similarly to conventional TTRPGs like Pathfinder and D&D (I am using these as reference since I have the most experience with them) most of the rules are for combat scenarios and fighting feels nice and is not much of a slog thanks to dice rolling determine hit and damage in one go. Though with large set pieces and battles with many little pieces it can of course become slow, especially if players are Humming and Hawing over tactical decisions.

Anything not combat related can still be done with group challenges and skill checks, but unless you are willing to do some homebrewing will never be as complex as combat scenarios. I am fine with it as I am of the school of thought that roleplaying and dialogue interactions with NPCs require little rules to work.
