To be fair, it seems to be everything the publisher's blurb says it is - combat heavy (extremely so - and not a bad thing in and of itself).
The only (and main) gripe I have is that there is a lack of Tabular information overall - instead of being easily accessible and at your fingertips, a lot of vital information is buried deep in masses of un-headinged text ... and the majority of the existing tables that are actually quite important are either at the very end of the book or, often, at the end of the entire section they apply to. Not conducive to ease of learning or ease of play ... especially if you are trying to get new players (even experienced ones).
I expect that once you can get past the learning curve it might get somewhat easier.
That said, it does seem to capture the essence of Conan style low magic, brutal combat, Swords and Sorcery ...
