I'm also wondering about it... it looks like a Diablo thing to me, and I typically don't like those types of RPGs, so I dunno. I'll probably pass on it since I hardly ever actually play anything I buy on these Steam sales.
Bastion's dodge and weapon variety make it a LOT more engaging than what (little) I've played of the Diablo series. From a gameplay perspective, it's definitely more action than RPG.
Bastion is #4 in my game of the year rankings, and only loses out to my top 3 because they're amazing games which happen to be massive, while Bastion is quite short (although it's hard to playthrough without immediately starting new game+ afterwards. I'm saying this as someone who almost always ignores new game+ options). It's otherwise perfect in every way, and I say that without hyperbole. Brilliant, brilliant game.
