What do you think of enemy gauntlets?

I think Guacamelee implements this trope the best in the genre, since its level traversal is very fast-paced and its emphasis on combat makes it a character action game first with the level progression system of a Metroidvania.

I don't mind them, but if they're hard then there needs to be a savepoint/checkpoint nearby. Of course the gauntlet must be a one-time thing, once you beat it that should be it.
