True, but it isn't exactly the most fun encounter, especially when used ad nauseam.

Hunted is a good example of a gimmick map where the use of Archies in unpleasant environments tailored to make it pressing and hectic, and it is good, it was an entire map built on one concept, done well.
However, it was only one map, and it didn't reuse this gimmick throughout all of Plutonia

It sometimes strikes me as if he's aiming purely for "GOTTA BE HARDCORE BRO" over fun. I really want to like Vanguard, but the monster count in some of the levels are just a chore, it's not challenging my skills, it's just challenging my patience and attention span.
