Evil Dead: The Game

Evil Dead: The Game has quickly become our favourite 4v1 horror title, and we can’t wait to see how it grows and develops. There are two distinct experiences to be had playing as either a demon or a survivor, but both are huge amounts of gory fun. And thanks to the fantastic atmosphere generated by the game’s visuals and map design, you’re genuinely kept on the edge of your seat as you play. We’re...

Evil Dead: The Game is a fun, varied horror experience with plenty of challenges and depth, even if you choose not to play as any of the 4 Ash variants.

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

With a strong atmosphere and love for the franchise, Saber Interactives' Evil Dead: The Game is the best horror multiplayer to play with friends.

However, despite its few drawbacks, it's a near-perfect tribute to Sam Raimi's creation as the game is groovy fun whether you play as a survivor or a demon. It has a great foundation so here's hoping Saber Interactive keeps us coming back with plenty of post-launch updates.

It's not perfect, but Evil Dead: The Game is the most approachable asymmetrical horror out there and breathes new life into a genre with badass survivors, wonderfully ruthless demons, and a palpable love for an 80s horror icon.

Between its strong and compelling gameplay loop and obvious love of the source material, Evil Dead: The Game is a welcome addition to the asymmetric horror pantheon.

It’s not the biggest multiplayer experience you could find right now, but Evil Dead: The Game makes use of its streamlined nature to deliver a darkly joyous romp that taps into everything Evil Dead with great success. Saber Interactive follows up its solid World War Z game with another well put together multiplayer horror title.

Evil Dead: The Game has some flaws, balance-wise it gets tiring knowing that playing as a demon doesn't feel as overwhelming for the survivors as it should be despite how fun roaming around the map is, and the class system ultimately doesn't make enough distinctions between survivors, you really can play whichever in the same style. However, the sheer amount of exhilarating entertainment you get, ...

Evil Dead captures the spirit of the movies while laying a solid foundation for an enduring multiplayer experience. Just don’t expect to have fun playing solo.

In a long line of Evil Dead video games, this latest effort may be the most faithful of all, but sometimes it's loyal to a fault.

It’s ultimately more fun with friends, but only really if they’re also into Evil Dead as a franchise. And even then, references and nostalgia can only get you so far. Ultimately, Evil Dead the Game can be improved by patches and I’ll be happy to return to it when it is improved. As for now, I’ll stick with my film collection for my Evil Dead fix.
