Gab, welcome to Wizardry 8!!
There are a few battles with fixed level monsters in Wizardry 8, but 95 percent of the battles will be with "spawned" monsters.
When monsters spawn, they do so at "close" to the current level of the highest level character in your party. That can mean two or three levels above or below, however.
It sounds like you are finding your parties skills and abilities to be less than what you need to handle the opposition you are facing. First know that you are not alone. Pretty much all of us have been there at first. You did better than me, actually. My first party never made it to Arnika.
1) Try the advice above. You can improve the results you are getting by using good batttle tactics (like hiding in a crevice where enemies can only come at you one or two at a time. Don't forget running and seeking the help of others (green dots on the radar screen), as part of that strategy.
2) Change the difficulty level. If this is your first game and you are playing on Expert Mode, then you are making the same mistake I did. It led to needless frustration. There are no rewards for playing at a higher difficulty level (even normal). If you are like many of us, you will start the game with several different parties until you are satisfied.
3) Trynton and level 8 may seem like a lot, but you are still in the beginning of the game. Don't be afraid to start over. You can keep the party you have and come back to it later, if you wish, as your skills improve.
The bottom line is to change rather than continue something frustrating and not fun. Once your player skills go up the learning curve a little, the game becomes easier.
