Loved it!
Introducing the lore with background images and music was really great, I got instantly hooked.
And then the gameplay mechanic to attack and parry was great, it felt immersive!
The only critic I'd make is that the combats are a bit too long. I think it would be a good idea to first have a really short combat to get the hang of it, and then on each "level", increase the difficulty/length of the combat (as well as add additional mechanics, if you have time/inspiration)
By the way I was never attracted to turn-based games, but this one feels different, well done!
