This game has a mechanic that allows only one enemy to attack at a time. Two enemies can't attack at the same time, but when fighting one enemy, that enemy may finish their turn to allow the next one to attack.

So in a way, this is sort of like a turned based in real time with a mixture of rythm (What angle to attack/block with a short time window). Very clever on the devs. I would like to see a sequel with co-op thrown in the mix. They cracked the formula, why not expand on that?
