~The Splendid Adventures of Rondam and Flody~

agreed with your points especially the first one, the idea of the story (Alucard dealing with his isolation and being betrayed) is good but the way it got there could have been better

The biggest references where the fact that a lot of the plot is taken from an incidental area in Curse of Darkness (the Infinite Corridor, St. Germain is a boss/NPC in that as well) and lots of enemy shout outs. When Isaac fights the magician all the people turn into the big Legion ball which is one of the most famous bosses in the series and when the gate to hell opens there's a few SotN enemy designs that pop out. I don't immediately recall the music like Bloody Tears last season so I don't know if it actually was anything specific. I'd have to relisten.
