Crunchyroll Game Vault adds cult classics

Crunchyroll's Game Vault continues growing with two exciting cult classic additions. Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story delivers romantic visual novel storytelling set in feudal Japan, while Ys I Chronicles brings its legendary hack-and-slash RPG action to mobile platforms.

Following their gaming platform launch, Crunchyroll has strategically expanded their Vault with niche hits that often fly under the radar. Their latest acquisitions - Destiny's Princess and Ys I Chronicles - perfectly cater to fans seeking underappreciated gems now available on mobile.

Destiny's Princess marks the mobile debut of this beloved visual novel. Players take on the role of a courageous princess guiding her kingdom through wartime while developing deep romantic connections with an array of captivating suitors.

Ys I Chronicles offers a different flavor of adventure. This action-packed RPG, originally a 2000s remake of the groundbreaking Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen, follows hero Adol Christin's legendary quest to liberate Esteria from demonic forces.

Crunchyroll has cleverly identified and capitalized on their audience's niche interests. Unlike Netflix's broader gaming strategy, Crunchyroll specifically targets anime and manga enthusiasts by curating a selection of Japanese cult classics and previously unavailable mobile titles.

This focused approach allows them to introduce Western audiences to obscure Japanese titles like Steins;Gate and Ao Oni that might otherwise go unnoticed. Since its initial limited offerings in 2023, the Game Vault has significantly expanded its library, making it far more appealing for subscribers seeking unique gaming experiences.

For those who previously dismissed the service due to limited content, Crunchyroll's growing collection of specialized titles now warrants serious consideration from dedicated fans of Japanese gaming and visual novels.
