I too think it's sword and sorcery with an sf gloss - what people used to call science fantasy and sometimes planetary romance. I adore that genre and wish there was more of it.
Oh, please please start a post for discussion of science fantasy and collection of recs? It's one of my favourite genres too (partly explaining my love for Gene Wolfe despite his politics). I'd especially love more recent examples and/or discussions of what could be done in the genre.
