It seems you've played Wolong recently, another Team Ninja game. It shouldn't be much harder than that. The red moves are easy to counter of course, and for normal moves you need to dodge or block. Blocking doesn't use much stamina like Souls. It shouldn't one shot you, so I would check your equipment and stat bonuses. Most important thing is to keep up to snuff with the equipment in terms of level for defense only, the minor stats don't matter that much in the early game. But better than defense is simply killing them with ki pulses and perfect dodges. Ki pulse is better than the parry in Wolong.

Remember you can use the demon skills as well, so if you find a ranged demon skill, it can be very helpful against troublesome enemies. Also for Humans it is very easy to just used ranged weapons to thin the herd. Ammunition is near infinite after awhile.

Pfft. Wolong, and I'm not being hyperbolic, is at the very least 10x easier than Nioh 2. I'm playing grand and get the systems albeit I don't get the burst counter, I use it but something won't click in my brain to get it right. The Human enemies are no problem, I just beat a mission where it was mainly humans and it was easy. It's the Yokai, they are brutal to take down and just... Well brutal. I see a lot of people saying this is easier than Nioh 2 cause of the abilities but I don't see it or something isn't clicking. I find it in the range of 5x harder plus you're always under leveled and there's nothing good to farm. I'm 7 levels under the recommended for missions but sure when I am leveled it feels like I'm not stronger. I cleared Wolong and barely died apart from a few bosses but I had online help for those. Maybe a death every other mission. I've in the hundreds of times so far and I'm barely half way through the game. What did you build as? I'm settled on a magic Switch glaive build, but a few points into other stuff for beefier armour and ecoumberance limit. Working on getting my health pool up at the moment. 

I suppose magic will take awhile to come online, but it is one of the stronger builds. When you get a few spells, it might become a cakewalk in contrast.

I was a 2h axe build, very easily breaking the posture of even the demons. I had a bit of trouble until the snake boss, but after that it became easier.
