There are many ways to make a game more difficult as you get towards the later parts of it, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Ideally you'll want the obstacles you overcome to be more difficult to deal with, yet possible to overcome through having more resources, better equipment and more, higher level characters. This provides a sense of progression to the game, making the player come up with more advanced and complicated tactics to make at first impossible seeming encounters a lot more manageable. The feeling of accomplishment after emerging victorious from such an encounter - which doesn't necessarily have to be combat - is a great thing indeed.
There are far less elegant ways to make the game more challenging, each with their own advantages and disadvantages to match. The most basic and cumbersome of all of these is something I like to call the 'Room O' Monsters', a place you often need to go through that's just heaped with an absurd amount of enemies. It presents a difficult encounter only through sheer numbers and little else, making defeating all of them a matter of luck, patience and no small amount of positioning. It's effective when used sparingly but some games like to use this over and over again, each time ramping up the number of enemies used. Spear of Destiny was a big culprit of this, making the middle and later levels not a fun prospect at all.
Spear of Destiny didn't have teleporters though, meaning that you were only ever thrown into a sudden huge combat at the beginning of the level. The teleporters in Dungeon Hack mean that it can happen any time you step into the magical transporters, making saving before stepping in them the first time highly recommended.
