Crunchyroll is expanding its Game Vault with two exciting new additions: Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story and Ys I Chronicles. These cult classics are sure to thrill fans who appreciate games that don't always get the spotlight they deserve.
Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story is a visual novel making its mobile debut thanks to Crunchyroll. Players step into the shoes of a courageous princess tasked with leading her kingdom to victory. Alongside the strategic elements, you'll dive into deep and emotional relationships with a cast of charming characters, adding a romantic twist to the war narrative.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles offers a more action-packed experience. This hack 'n slash RPG, originally a remake of the classic Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen from the 2000s, lets you play as the heroic swordsman Adol Christin. Your mission is to liberate the land of Esteria from demonic forces, providing a thrilling adventure on your mobile device.
Crunchyroll's Game Vault is smartly tapping into a niche market. Unlike Netflix, which must balance mainstream appeal with indie hits, Crunchyroll caters directly to its otaku audience, both extreme and casual. This strategy allows them to introduce relatively obscure titles to Western audiences, often for the first time on mobile, with a built-in fanbase eager to explore these unique games.
The addition of cult classics like Steins; Gate and Ao Oni showcases Crunchyroll's commitment to bringing new and unusual releases to its users. Since the initial launch, the Vault has grown significantly, addressing earlier concerns about limited offerings. Now, with an expanding catalogue, those looking for value in their gaming experience have more reason than ever to check out what Crunchyroll has to offer.
