I wouldn't compare it to Onimusha at all, fighting mechanics are completely different, much more reliant on jumping (which is nonexistent in Onimusha games), evading and other acrobatic moves. It's also about 4X faster, at the very least.

DMC is also not a particularly good comparison point. DMC is more flashy, while NG is generally more punishing (but also more rewarding) and more about edge-of-the-seat fighting than showing off. I'm not sure there is a game Ninja Gaiden can be compared to at all, it seems to be in a class of its own.
