    Evil Dead brings a brand new tactical thrill to the multiplayer horror genre.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a no-brainer for fans of the series and even horror fans in general, capturing the best elements of what makes Evil Dead so memorable and weaving them into a great experience to share with friends or even tackle alone. While it may have its flaws, the dedication put into this title is obvious from the get-go. If you’re tired of running from what bumps in the night and want to get some payback, this is the game for you. “Come get some.”

    Saber Interactive has crafted a highly entertaining asymmetrical multiplayer game in Evil Dead: The Game, and a lot of that is down to an understanding of how best to implement the quirks of the source material into game form. With possession, slapstick, gore, violence, chainsaws, and malevolent trees, Evil Dead: The Game is as Evil Dead as it could be.

    Being enveloped by the atmosphere of Evil Dead: The Game, by the cold of dismay and the heat of blood is a real pleasure: the beauty of terror is more evident than ever and allows the franchise to get out of that vortex of negativity that has overwhelmed the its videogame incarnations. The problems on the content and gameplay front could compromise the longevity of the title, whose long-term success remains an unknown at the moment. The hope is that the developers work hard to constantly entertain a community of enthusiasts who can keep production alive, so that the blood continues to flow for a long time to come.

    Evil Dead: The Game pays an interesting homage to the saga, with an improvable and yet enjoyable asymmetric gameplay that can be a good start for a game that surely needs long-time support from the developers, in order to find its place in this niche.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a very interesting asymmetrical multiplayer game, extremely faithful to the atmospheres and suggestions of the horror saga created by Sam Raimi, as well as capable of delivering a relatively fresh cooperative and competitive gameplay. Played with friends the title is fun and exciting, but the formula couldn't hold up very long due to the limited and confusing combat system, as well as some technical issues on PC.

    Evil Dead The Game is great and bloody fun for an occasional session with friends. After a while though the gameplay gets too repetitive and the game lacks content. It's okay for now and then, but it fails to motivate over a longer period of time.

    First thing this game is not Dead by Daylight trash type of game where you doing ONE objective like a monkey over and over again and ppl areFirst thing this game is not Dead by Daylight trash type of game where you doing ONE objective like a monkey over and over again and ppl are so bored that being Toxic on forums is more fun for them than playing. This game is about Tactic ( no flashlight click click or T bagging , moonwalking ) . When you play as the human team you need to act quiet, do objectives, LOOT and think about surroundings because Demon at start is Weak and he cannot even know where are you but like in the movies when humans are cocky and for example want to jump to the car just because they think this is GTA Demon will instantly know where on map this happening and he can adjust his gameplay ( set up traps close to them or predict where they are going ) Game is very fun for a Demon and Survivors because they both got tons of tools to fight with, not only run ( and throw pallet lol ) GORE is massive in this game, demons Puke , bleed , throw they arms and heads and use them as a weapon, mini ashes jump from lockers and steal your weapons, ash hand fight with you, finishers are brutal and playing as a demon is just like in the movie : start weak, use traps to scare everyone and prepare your "playground" , grow in power and summon demons stronger and stronger, posses other players and try to kill their friends or just waste their ammo, finally be strong enough to summon your vessel ( boss ) and this is so great
    P.S - DbD toxic fanboys and YouTubers taking money from behaviour please stay away from this game, nobody want you here    … Expand

    Ignore the people review bombing because it's an epic exclusive. Has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

    Again we see a poor quality title taking Epic's exclusivity money.

    I feel as if I'm being generous here...

All they had to do is use the IP created by people who are more creative and intelligent and not make it suck by implementing bad gameplay... and they failed. Hilariously bad decision making when it comes to basic "what is fun?" gameplay decisions that you have to assume every developer involved is a massive failure in every other area of life. Why not use anti-cheat? Why not use a "report a player" for cheating feature? Why make overpowered abilities and utterly uselss abilities exist in the same system? Why make it so difficult to give the devlopers feedback? The only thing they got right is...

    See above: stuff other more creative, intelligent people already made.

    Oh well! On to the next failure for Saber!    … Expand
