Crunchyroll is expanding its Game Vault with two new cult classics that are set to thrill fans of niche games. The latest additions, Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story and Ys I Chronicles, are now available on mobile, bringing unique gaming experiences to the platform.
Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story is a beloved visual novel making its mobile debut through Crunchyroll. In this game, players step into the shoes of a courageous princess tasked with leading her kingdom to victory. Alongside the strategic challenges, players will also delve into intricate and emotional relationships with a cast of charming characters.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles offers a more action-packed experience. This hack 'n slash RPG, a remake of the iconic Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen from the 2000s, lets players control the valiant swordsman Adol Christin as he embarks on a mission to liberate the land of Esteria from demonic forces.
Crunchyroll has cleverly tapped into a specific niche with its Game Vault, catering to both hardcore and casual otaku fans. Unlike Netflix, which must juggle mainstream appeal with indie gems, Crunchyroll's audience is already primed for these types of releases. This allows Crunchyroll to introduce relatively obscure titles to Western audiences, often for the first time on mobile, and find an eager audience ready to explore them.
The addition of cult classics like Steins;Gate and Ao Oni showcases Crunchyroll's commitment to bringing unique and unconventional games to its users. Since the initial launch, the Game Vault has significantly expanded, addressing earlier criticisms about the limited selection. This growth means that those looking for value in their gaming subscriptions can now consider Crunchyroll's Game Vault with renewed interest.
