Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We'll get a tutorial in for the retreat command in a future build and adjust the UI to make it more obvious

Welcome to the community!
The tutorial is not completely finished and misses one important explanation: the retreat button. It's at the very bottom-right corner of the screen, containing three little arrows pointing down. Each time you enter a battle, you get a chance to withdraw during your first turn. At the beginning of the game when your hero is still weak and your deck and team not fully built up, this is a mandatory strategy. You'll want to explore, find resources, build up strength, determine which party is the weakest to engage it first... and only then tackle tougher ones.
As you discover rooms with enemy parties, pay attention whether they contain a summoner or not, as they can play cards too and therefore be much stronger opponents. Besides the description on their card, you can spot summoners at their ornate lifebar. Also the icon on the map is different for rooms with summoners vs. rooms with regular units.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you're a discord user you'll find faster response time to your questions on the D20Studios channel: https://discord.gg/d20studios
Also, would you mind changing the title of your thread to make it easier for others in your situation to find this answer? Thanks!

Game Discussion / Am I missing something? Help
« Last post by Neg1123 on August 01, 2021, 01:00:06 PM »Hello everyone Neg here, nice to meet you all.
Im wondering if im missing something because I die everytime in the first battle.
I played the Demo on steam and I loved the game from the start. I bought the game and I was trying to do some runs and have fun.
Im playing the adventure in normal difficulty. I enter the dungeon at the start of the run and the first "monster room" I go to is always a 7/11 dragon with some mobs or a 4/16 warrior with block , etc and Im a 3/5 champion with 3 cards who can barely manage to kill them, so I just die, retry and go to another room where I get kill too. It is supposed to be that hard? Im very used to roguelike card games and I understand the mechanics but I think Im missing something in this game. My runs are lasting around 3 mins and Im getting fustrated haha.
Can anyone help me?

Difficulty determines your number of lives (or continues), enemy health and the kinds of monsters you’ll face in battles. Casual mode is designed to help players who are new to the genre learn how to play, while Hardcore mode offers a roguelike experience with permadeath. The standard difficulty is balanced for those seasoned in turn-based tactics and deckbuilding games and new to the unique mechanics of Summoners Fate... Keep reading on our Steam page.

Summoners Fate has a unique approach to storytelling. There are no complex names, politics or locations to burden your memory. There is no character dialog to scroll through. What remains is a personalized and emergent story experience that unfolds through your interactions in the game.

Lore certainly paints a picture, doesn't it? If you see this lore, a Skeleton Dragon inhabits your world.
