Crunchyroll Adds Six Games to Vault

• Crunchyroll Game Vault is growing with six planned new releases
• This summer's lineup features Metal Slug Tactics and Two Strikes
• It further enriches Game Vault's already extensive catalog

When discussing subscription gaming services, Crunchyroll often emerges as an underrated contender. Although anime has gained widespread popularity, it's still sometimes perceived as a niche interest. However, Crunchyroll's focus on Japanese games and cult classic titles appears to be paying off, as evidenced by the impressive six new games arriving this summer.

Nearly all these titles are making their mobile debut, making this an exceptionally substantial update. Let's take a closer look at what's coming.

• Pub Encounter - We're starting with a visual novel that launches today! In this romance-focused story, you'll visit a cozy, traditional pub and explore relationships with several middle-aged gentlemen. That's the official description, straight from the press release.

• Grisaia Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 - Another highly-regarded visual novel is finally coming to iOS. This "kinetic novel" combines firearms, female protagonists, and shooter elements in a straightforward narrative experience.
  


• Metal Slug Tactics - Rocket lawnchair! The beloved run-and-gun franchise transitions to tactical squad-based RPG gameplay, allowing you to deploy the entire Metal Slug team against familiar foes in fresh strategic encounters.

• Phantom Breaker: Ultimate Battle Grounds - A satisfying retro-style beat 'em up inspired by the popular fighting game series. Ideal for enthusiasts of River City Girls or Streets of Rage.
  


• Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - Shin-chan's summer escapades continue in this beautifully animated adventure filled with mystery and discovery.
  


• Two Strikes: Potentially the most thrilling announcement. This Hellish Quart-inspired duelist gives you just one decisive strike to defeat your opponent with samurai flair. A must-play for fans of Masamune.

Any single one of these would be a noteworthy addition, but they'll be rolling out throughout the summer. Pre-registration is currently available, guaranteeing plenty of gaming entertainment while you escape the heat in cool, shaded comfort!
