 The game sold well and received positive reviews from video game publications . It was praised for new elements it provided to the franchise , although this was also the subject of criticism as it did not retain traits from previous Castlevania games . Konami requested that the development team produce more titles related to Lords of Shadow . This includes two sequels titled Castlevania : Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate and Castlevania : Lords of Shadow 2 .
