The Crunchyroll Game Vault is set to delight fans with the addition of two cult classic games, expanding its already impressive catalogue. First up is Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story, a visual novel that transports players to ancient Japan. Here, you step into the shoes of a brave princess tasked with leading her kingdom to victory while navigating the intricate web of romance with a cast of charming characters. This marks the game's first mobile debut, courtesy of Crunchyroll, offering a fresh way to experience this beloved story.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles caters to fans of action-packed gameplay. This hack 'n slash RPG is a remake of the original Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen, first released in the 2000s. Players take on the role of the heroic swordsman Adol Christin, embarking on a thrilling quest to liberate the land of Esteria from demonic forces. Now, thanks to Crunchyroll, this prequel can be enjoyed on mobile devices for the first time.
Crunchyroll's strategic focus on niche gaming is paying off. Unlike Netflix, which juggles mainstream appeal with indie gems, Crunchyroll targets a specific audience of anime and gaming enthusiasts. This allows them to introduce lesser-known titles to Western audiences, often for the first time on mobile. The inclusion of cult classics like Steins; Gate and Ao Oni in recent times showcases their commitment to diversifying their offerings.
Since the initial feedback on the Vault's limited selection in 2023, Crunchyroll has significantly expanded its library. This growth makes it an increasingly attractive option for gamers looking for value and variety. With these latest additions, the Crunchyroll Game Vault continues to solidify its position as a go-to destination for fans of unique and engaging gaming experiences.
