Sword swings sometimes produce no discernible results

[MasterBismuth]

Sometimes when I am fighting an enemy in this game I will press an attack button, the sword swing animation will play, but I will get no result message. This can often happen multiple times in a row. It's unclear to me what causes this but I'm inclined to believe that it's some sort of a timing or sequence issue in the game loop.

Is this something wrong on my end or have others experienced this bug? Is the game silently producing results or just stalled out playing attack animations that don't register as any sort of meaningful action?
