@Guru_Larry Yes, exactly. With that opening the SotN team are openly declaring that the game is Rondo of Blood meets Dragon’s Trap. Or rather Rondo meets Dragon’s Curse as it’s probably the 1991 PC Engline version they have in mind. Either way they should be called ‘Metragon’ games…
@Guru_Larry The beginning of SotN is obviously a homage to the beginning of the Dragon’s Trap. How Castlevania gets credit and Dragon’s Trap gets none is beyond me, the makers of the game are literally telling the players about their inspiration from the start.
