This game is very early in development, you probably gonna change many stuff in the future but I think you should first focus on polishing more the gameplay and explain how to play it, for example you have a dodge and a parry but why I as a player should use those when I can backdash half screen with a single button? In fact, that is how I easily I defeated the enemies. also the controls are kind of weird, using shift to use a special attack seems unintuitive.
I read down in the comments you wanna make a hack'n'slash closer to DMC , then go and watch Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you can get some inspiration from that game, here is a video, look at 2:38 minute mark:
