Crunchyroll has announced some very interesting news – they’re getting into the digital games distribution business.
The new avenue is naturally to sell indie Japanese games (because anything else just wouldn’t make sense), and as such they’ve partner with Japanese localization studio, Nyu Media Limited.
Seven titles are already available on the Crunchyroll store, and the launch titles are as follows:
Cherry Tree High Comedy Club
Comedy fanatic and high school student Miley Verisse needs to recruit five people to set up a comedy club in her school, but her nemesis and the head of the student council, Octavia Richmond, isn’t about to make things easy! Fans of the Persona series will love the gameplay in this slice-of-life adventure!
Croixleur Sigma
This high-speed hack-and-slash brawler draws heavy inspiration from Devil May Cry’s Bloody Palace mode and pits players against waves of increasingly difficult enemies. Play as either Lucrezia Visconti or Francesca Storaro as these two friends fight to protect their Queen and country!
Eryi’s Action
Don’t be fooled by its adorably charming looks – Eryi’s Action wants you to die! Put your gaming skills, wits, and mental health on the line in this additively challenging and FUN trapformer! The game you’ll be DYING to beat!

Gigantic Army

The eXceed Collection
A trio of bullet-hell shooting games that boasts genre-leading production values and devilishly exciting gameplay. This outstanding value pack collects all three games in the eXceed series. BULLET HELL COMES AT A HEAVENLY PRICE!
