I have not finished the game yet, but it seems a little biased towards magic. Others have played through with multiple characters and could offer a more qualified opinion. Playing a strength based warrior (concentrating on normal damage) I have not had any serious problems, though, that couldn't be solved by adjusting my strategy or exploring another area first.
In the starting area, talk to each of the trainers and try out various classes to see what suits your style. Any class can do well, or you can mix and match skills as you see fit.
You will have access to a necromancer creature you can summon a little way into the game (about level 10 or 12). I found it much more useful as a ranger (Fireball) than a warrior (Rush Attack / Fatality), and best as a mage (Magic Missile / Magic Blast).
