Hades is typically called a roguelite, and the progression elements are rather strong for the genre. You get significantly more powerful with some permanent upgrades. This does make a lot of sense for the game, especially with the strong focus on the story. You want most players to be able to complete the game after a certain amount of tries, but not too early to shortcut the story. And the real difficulty slider is in the endgame anyway.
