It can be hard to beat, depending on your 'skill' with that sort of game.
If you're really struggling, I would recommend getting the mod that allows you to 'pick' a particular god that you like, and it will keep giving you that god as the powerup choice. This lets you get the 'rare' upgrades more often, which is where the game really seems to peg its difficulty level at. RNG screws over a strategy more often than anything else in hades. Sure, if you're really trying to be the best hades player ever, you won't really have problems, but for more casual players it is more critical to have good upgrades.
*If you do get that mod, remember that you can switch which god you're being given, and find a combo power that you really like. Some good choices are demeter, zeus, artemis. Demeter's laser beams, artemis's criticals, those do well together. Zeus's lightning combines well with several other powers. Demeter's cool 'upgrade the rarity' power is also amazing which is why she pairs well with everyone else.
