The Crunchyroll Game Vault is expanding its collection with two new cult classic releases, exciting fans of niche games. Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story is making its mobile debut, offering players a visual novel experience set in ancient Japan. In this game, you take on the role of a brave princess, tasked with leading your kingdom to victory while navigating intricate and emotional relationships with a cast of charming characters.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles brings its hack 'n slash RPG action to mobile devices. Originally released in the 2000s as a remake of the series' flagship title, Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen, this game follows the heroic swordsman Adol Christin on his mission to liberate the land of Esteria from demonic forces.
Crunchatise me: Crunchyroll has cleverly tapped into a niche market with its Game Vault. Unlike Netflix, which must balance mainstream appeal with indie offerings, Crunchyroll targets an audience of otaku, both hardcore and casual. This strategy allows them to introduce relatively obscure titles to Western audiences, often for the first time on mobile platforms. The recent additions of cult classics like Steins; Gate and Ao Oni demonstrate their commitment to showcasing unique and lesser-known games.
Since the Game Vault's initial launch, it has significantly expanded its library. Previously criticized for its limited selection, as noted by Catherine in 2023, the Vault now offers a more robust selection. This growth makes it an increasingly attractive option for those looking for value and variety in their gaming experience.
