Crunchyroll set to expand its Game Vault offerings with a whopping six new releases

  • Crunchyroll Game Vault is expanding with six new planned releases
  • This suite of summer releases includes Metal Slug Tactics and Two Strikes
  • It expands Game Vault’s already jam-packed offerings

As an enthusiast, I can’t help but bring attention to an underestimated player in the subscription gaming arena – Crunchyroll. Often overshadowed due to anime’s perceived niche status, Crunchyroll has managed to carve out a significant space for itself by concentrating on Japanese gaming and reviving cult classics. The upcoming six new releases this summer are a clear testament to their success trajectory!

Almost all of these are making their initial appearance on mobile devices, which is quite remarkable given the number available! Let’s dive right in and explore them further…

  • Pub Encounter – We’re starting off strong with a visual novel launching, well, today! In this romance-themed VN, you’ll enter a cosy, old-fashioned pub to find romance with several middle-aged men. Hey, it’s what’s on the press release.

  • Grisaia Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 – Another acclaimed visual novel is finally getting an iOS release. Guns, girls and shooting all make for an interesting ‘kinetic novel’ with very straightforward progression.
  • Metal Slug Tactics – Rocket lawnchair! The familiar run ‘n’ gun series zooms out a bit for squad-based RPG action that lets you take the entire Metal Slug crew to the battlefield to duke it out with familiar enemies in a new way.

  • Phantom Breaker: Ultimate Battle Grounds – A crunchy retro beat ’em up based on the hit fighting game series. Perfect for fans of River City Girls or Streets of Rage.
  • Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – Shin-chan’s summer adventures continue in this beautifully animated adventure full of mystery and wonder.
  • Two Strikes: Perhaps the most exciting on the list. In this Hellish Quart-like, you get only one slice to take out your opponent in stylish samurai style. Perfect for you, Masamune fans out there.

Each one is fantastic on its own, but they’re spread across the summer instead. You can pre-register for them already, so you’ll always have something engaging to enjoy as the heat of summer lingers and you seek refuge in the cool!
