Crunchyroll is delighting fans with the expansion of its Game Vault, now featuring two new cult classics that are making their debut on mobile. First up is Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story, a visual novel that transports players to ancient Japan. Here, you take on the role of a courageous princess tasked with leading your kingdom to victory while navigating the complexities of romance with a charming cast of characters. It's a beloved title that's now accessible on mobile for the first time, thanks to Crunchyroll.
On the other hand, Ys I Chronicles brings a different flavor to the Vault 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? To liberate the land of Esteria from menacing demons. It's a thrilling addition that's sure to excite fans of action-packed RPGs.
Crunchyroll's Game Vault strategy is a masterclass in niche exploitation. Unlike Netflix, which juggles mainstream appeal with indie hits, Crunchyroll zeroes in on its core audience of otakus, both hardcore and casual. This approach allows them to introduce relatively obscure titles to Western audiences, often for the first time on mobile, and tap into an existing fanbase eager to explore these gems. With recent additions like Steins; Gate and Ao Oni, the Vault is proving to be a treasure trove for fans seeking unique gaming experiences.
Since the Vault's launch, the selection has grown significantly, addressing earlier concerns about slim pickings. For those looking for value for money, the expanding library now offers a compelling reason to take another look. Whether you're drawn to the romantic narratives of visual novels or the adrenaline-pumping action of RPGs, Crunchyroll's Game Vault is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for mobile gamers.
