has anyone here played vanguard? it's by skillsaw.

it seems everyone talks about his wads valiant and ancient aliens all the time, but to be honest, vanguard is overall funner and more consistent for me?

ancient aliens and valiant have many wonderful and memorable maps for me, but especially in ancient aliens there are imo many dud maps, and there are some dud maps earlier in valiant.

meanwhile, vanguard is imo quite consistent, though the maps are less creative/unusual than valiant / ancient aliens. it's also not that hard, excepting maps 11 and 12 (and 13 if you're not into tyson maps). map 11 really got my heart racing, though it turns out to give you enough ammo that if you conserve on the early easier fights, in the later hard fights you can just hold down the plasma button and be okay.
