Cool game, and this might just be a skill issue, but I feel like the enemies coming in such a high amount and moving towards you just kinda overwhelms you and makes it really hard to dodge.
Yes that is the intention! The game more relies on building a team composition to fight off enemies before they get close to you. The balancing is a bit off, but I recommend grabbing a Warrior as your first or second character to help in the beginning :D
