Man! I could not catch a break with these guys. I like the look of the game.

The secret is to try to parry (or at least block) them and go for the combo! (Light Attack then Charged Attack they will transition smoothly)
Hope you liked the game even if you found it hard, i wanted to replicate the frustrating experience of old hard PS1 games!
Also enemy have cooldown so you have openings after they attacked you could block if you aren't sure to parry, and then use their opening to punish them!
