A-Rank Party Smartphone Game Confirmed As Six-Member Dungeon RPG
The developers say the source work already reads as a dungeon RPG structure, which is why they picked the IP and built the adaptation around party command rather than around the anime's cast alone.

A game adaptation of A Rank Party wo Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu is in development for smartphones and PC. In a 4Gamer email interview, four developers said players control Yuke, lead a party of former students through dungeons, and spend daily life with them between runs. Battles use real time with a Slow Mode for planning tactics.
The team behind the adaptation describes the game as a dungeon RPG built on a framework the light novel already supplied: a leader directing three former students through a dungeon. Development division head Lee Eun-je said the structure caught the team's attention while scouting IP for a new project, and that placing the characters on that framework was the reason to proceed.
The developers said the whole team read the light novels, the manga, and the TV anime, translating the novels directly because no Korean edition existed. Art director Eom Jong-hun named Yuke's tactical insight and the students' strength as the elements the game treats as core to reproduce, with builds shared with the rights holder for supervision.
