No, its a lot different. Nioh is a lot more methodical, like Dark Souls. Ninja Gaiden is super fast paced.

God, reading that makes me feel old--that we can only describe action games now in terms of which Soulslike they most resemble.

When Ninja Gaiden originally came out (circa 2004), it was described as a stylish beat-em-up ala Devil May Cry, but with move-lists more resembling that of a fighting game (e.g. Virtua Fighter, Tekken, or Dead or Alive). It was known, among other things, for its punishing difficulty. The developers furthered that reputation by intentionally making the game more difficult every time it was re-released.

"Originally" refers to this iteration. It was first an arcade game in the late 80s, and was a side scrolling beat-em up. There were variations on this, and a very popular existence as a 2D action game. The latest versions, in the pseudo-3D setting have left me as disappointed as any modernization has.

It is a different type of difficulty.
soul games requires you to know exact boss movements and strike when opportunity allows, it places heave a emphasis on block and evade.

whereas street fighter's difficulty mainly came from (for amateur players anyway) performing combos in short windows, and that largely applies to Ninja Gaiden.

for what's worth, I dislike the second type, Forward + X, X, Forward + Y, Y, Forward + Hold Y 2 just for one move felt a lot like back arcade machine day where the challenges are put in place purely to eat coins.

I loved this game. Was top 100 in Ninja Gaiden Black online Mission rankings. I beat it on all difficulties. I must've beaten the first game 13-15 times. And spent hours doing the Mission levels after beating the game.
Any way, the 3rd is the weakest in the series. If this was $9.99 I'd jump on it, but at $27.99 a little much. Especially since I would never play the 3rd one again as once I beat it, I just never wanted to go through it again.

Meh, dont bother wasting your money on the switch version. the game runs like crap (performance is bad). Go for the Playstation, Xbox or PC version instead.

PC version was this same price during the summer sale, plays on deck better than switch, and you can run in your full pc.

Not sure but they have released allot of patches for it since it's release 2 years ago so it should probably run allot better than when they did the review 2 years ago.

I had a deck and moved onto rog ally got tired of jumping through hoops to get all the windows stuff to run on my deck not to mention that still allot of the steam library still isn't fully compatible. Don't get me wrong I loved my deck but the rog ally running windows makes life much easier. But the reason I'm responding I find myself going back to my oled switch even though I had and have the ally simply because if the port of a title runs reasonably well enough on the switch version I'm starting to prefer the switch versions simply because the battery life on the switch compared to the deck and ally are atrocious to nice honest. Get tons more battery playtime on a switch than on either the ally or the deck. Plus the oled screen on the switch looks so much better than the decks horrible screen. Vivid deck helped the deck screen look better but still don't hold candle to the oled screen on the switch. So long story short I only play the titles that are not playable on the switch on my rog ally. Or if the title looks like Vaseline is smeared on the screen on the switch version then that title too is definitely gonna be played on my ally. But if it runs and looks reasonable on the switch version I much prefer the switch version for the premium screen and waaay better battery life. Sorry for the long winded reply lol
