The genre is the same as Mini Ninjas’s, and with it open world exploration, melee combat and single-player focus. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery. Where the two diverge is tone and visuals: dark, oppressive atmosphere and crafting mechanics.

On paper it is what Mini Ninjas is — open world exploration, melee combat and single-player focus — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. The distance is in tone and combat — its own ground is dark, oppressive atmosphere and a sandbox world.

It predates Mini Ninjas by 8 years, with what that implies technically.
