Crunchyroll Game Vault is expanding its offerings with the addition of two cult classic games, bringing even more variety to its already impressive catalog. The latest additions, Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story and Ys I Chronicles, are set to delight fans of niche gaming experiences on mobile.
Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story is a visual novel that immerses players in the world of ancient Japan. As a brave princess, you'll lead your kingdom through tumultuous times while navigating romantic relationships with a captivating cast of characters. This marks the first time this cult classic has been available on mobile, thanks to Crunchyroll.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles offers a different kind of experience with its hack 'n slash RPG action. Originally released in the 2000s as a remake of the series' flagship title, Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen, this game lets you step into the shoes of the heroic swordsman Adol Christin. Your mission is to liberate the land of Esteria from the grip of marauding demons.
Crunchyroll has cleverly tapped into a unique niche with its Game Vault. Unlike Netflix, which must balance mainstream appeal with indie hits, Crunchyroll caters directly to its audience of otakus, both dedicated and casual. This strategy allows them to introduce relatively obscure titles to the West, often for the first time on mobile, confident that their audience will be receptive.
The recent additions of cult classics like Steins;Gate and Ao Oni demonstrate Crunchyroll's commitment to exposing players to new and unusual games. Since the Vault's offerings were considered slim in 2023, the increase in releases means that those seeking value for money can now give it a second look with confidence.
