On the video:
I agree with Pongo, it looks like the character (and also the enemies) are going way too slow. Watch the video again, from the perspectives of "what would I do if I were the character?" and "what would I do if I were one of those enemies?" In addition to not walking slowly, I don't think you'd swing blindly at the air. It's okay to have the player dodge, but maybe make it so that the enemy only swings if the player's right in front of them, and that they have a much faster swing as well?
On general gameplay/level design:
Take my advice with a grain of salt, as I've never even developed a game close to as far as that video was, but I've done lots of simulations and things, and I think that it'd be really fun if enemies behaved in different manners. Some could flock around the player like they're sort of doing already in the movie, but some can go around the long way, and others could maybe be faster and hit-and-run, or stay back and used ranged attacks. I think that changing enemy stats (speed, for example), would greatly increase the variance in behavior and overall awesomeness.
Keep it up, though. It looks great!
