Crunchyroll Game Vault Adds Cult Classics

The Crunchyroll Game Vault continues growing with two new cult classic additions

Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story delivers visual novel romance set in feudal Japan

Meanwhile, Ys I Chronicles brings its acclaimed hack-and-slash RPG action to mobile as a prequel remake

As Crunchyroll expands its gaming catalog, it's no surprise to see these niche gems joining the lineup. For fans who appreciate underrated classics, these latest mobile releases - Destiny's Princess and Ys I Chronicles - offer exciting new ways to experience beloved titles.

Destiny's Princess makes its mobile debut through Crunchyroll, offering players a chance to experience this cult favorite visual novel. Step into the role of a noble princess balancing wartime strategy and romantic entanglements with a cast of intriguing suitors.

Ys I Chronicles presents a different experience with its action-packed RPG gameplay. Originally released in the 2000s as a remake of the seminal Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen, this mobile version lets players control legendary adventurer Adol Christin in his demon-slaying quest across Esteria.

Crunchyroll has strategically positioned its Game Vault to cater directly to anime and manga enthusiasts. Unlike Netflix's broader gaming approach mixing promotional titles with indie darlings, Crunchyroll leverages its niche appeal to curate content perfectly aligned with its audience's tastes.

This focused strategy enables Crunchyroll to introduce Western mobile audiences to previously obscure Japanese titles. Looking back to 2023 when the catalog seemed limited, the service has significantly expanded with acclaimed additions like Steins;Gate and Ao Oni - making subscriptions increasingly compelling for dedicated fans.
