Crunchyroll, the anime streaming service, announced yesterday that it will now be offering games at certain subscription tiers.
Announced over on Crunchyroll's own website, the Crunchyroll Game Vault is a newly opened library of games you can play, added on top of all the anime you can watch through the service. The Game Vault won't be available to all members though, as it starts at the Mega Fan tiers, which costs £5.99/$9.99 a month, and is also available through the US only subscription tier Ultimate Fan, which is $14.99 a month. According to Crunchyroll, the Game Vault will be a "constantly growing library of mobile games," and is already available on Android, with iOS devices getting it "very soon in more than 200 countries, all playable with no ads and no in-app purchases."
To start, the service will include River City Girls, Wolfstride, Inbento, Captain Velvet: The Jump+ Dimensions, and Behind the Frame, so a nice little selection of indie games. Quite clearly they're also leaning more towards those anime vibes, as while they're not all Japanese-developed, they're all clearly inspired by Japanese media in some shape or form.
