Evil Dead: The Game pays excellent tribute to most of the Evil Dead canon with great gusto. It looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and has a robust set of multiplayer options, that means the foundation is there for a game with great longevity. It remains to be seen whether Saber will support the game with more content, which will need a refresh in the future. But if they do, Evil Dead: The Game is poised to be one of the better horror adaptations and easily one of my favourites.

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

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.

Evil Dead: The Game is a faithful adaptation, full of subtle and not-so-subtle homages to the classic horror series. You can visit iconic sites like The Knowby Cabin, wield boomsticks and chainsaw prosthetics, fight off a possessed severed hand, play as your favorite cast members, or command armies of Deadites as the series’ antagonist, the Kandarian Demon. They even recreated the first-person, off-axis camera effect synonymous with Sam Raimi’s directorial style from the movies. But while these elements fill the title with fanservice, none of them make for a very good video game, certainly not one that stands out in...

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

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, the skill-tree system that incentivises replayability, the Evil Dead fanservice spread throughout, and the promise of more content in the form of maps and characters, make the Saber Interactive developed title one worth the price...

Evil Dead: The Game surprised me in every single way. It was more than I expected. The attention to detail in the characters, enemies, and environments. The Knowby cabin is outstanding and nearly a 1 for 1 replica. The finishers are beautiful, the environments eerie and creepy, the gameplay loop addictive, but most importantly it is fun. Boss Team Games & Saber Interactive should be hailed for their attention to detail to Evil Dead the Game. It is quite apparent a lot of love, time and care went into it. Even if you are not a fan of the films...

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.

Evil Dead: The Game can feel rough around the edges but oozes fan service as it delivers some of the best asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay out there that rewards players on both sides.

Like similar games, future updates will likely go a long way in improving Evil Dead: The Game. Besides some muddy graphics, the game is polished and runs remarkably well for a freshly-launched online-only multiplayer game, and it can be a genuine blast for a few hours with the right group of friends. However, in its current state, Evil Dead: The Game lacks enough content to keep anyone that's not already a massive fan of the franchise engaged for the long-term.

When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.

The Evil Dead franchise has been around since 1981, and has recently seen a resurrection with a movie set to release on HBO Max this year. But first, Saber Interactive has dropped Evil Dead: The Game. Can this 4-vs-1 adaptation be any good, or is it just fanservice with a shallow game underneath all the shiny, bloody action? The answer may surprise you in our Evil Dead The Game review.

Despite its issues, Saber Interactive’s take on the Evil Dead universe has its claws in me. Evil Dead: The Game is competitively thrilling, all the while managing to genuinely feel like the next generation of asymmetrical multiplayer horror. Those that liked Friday the 13th or Dead By Daylight will love Evil Dead. Also, fans of the films and television show have plenty to get excited about, as Evil Dead: The Game absolutely drips with fan service. I worry about its longevity, but for now, ladies and gentlemen, start your chainsaws.

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 so glad that some 40 years after the release of The Evil Dead, the series remains relevant. And on the back of Evil Dead: The Game...

It’s hard to find fault with the Evil Dead franchise in movies and TV (unless you’re the type that just doesn’t enjoy fun), but video games? Poor Ash has had a less-than-groovy time when it comes to video games. From the original Commodore 64 title to the various 2000s-era attempts to bring the series to life, most Evil Dead games have been kind of depressing.

Good, bad, I’m the gal with the game. Evil Dead: The Game has been summoned from the depths to possess your free time, and if my experience with the title is anything to go by, you may not be all that inclined to resist. J̴o̸i̵n̸ ̴u̴s̴.̵.̴.̸

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.

Evil Dead: The Game brings a lot to the table within the realm of asymmetrical multiplayer horror experiences, with its cast of iconic characters, locations, and dialogue. It is an absolute blast to play as Ash Williams - voiced by Bruce Campbell himself - against the Forces of Darkness. There's even a solo mission mode that pays homage to famous scenes from the movies and tv series. Unfortunately, there's a slight lack of content due to repetitive objectives, and many quality of life concerns that the developers need to address if they want to prolong the longevity of their passion...

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.

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.

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.

Even so, there's just no denying the charm of Evil Dead: The Game. It's a brilliant encapsulation of what made the movies so iconic and beloved, and it just oozes humor and delicious campiness at every turn. It's still fairly rare for games attached to some sort of entertainment IP to do well, but I'd say Evil Dead's already off to a groovy start.

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.

Offering a good dose of blood and viscera for gorehounds and more than ample fan service for Evil Dead heads, Evil Dead: The Game is a solid entry to the 4v1 horror genre, let down ever so slightly by repetitive objectives and slightly annoying solo missions. Putting that to one side, what Saber has created here is pretty... groovy.

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.

Evil Dead fans will love the amount of fan service on offer here, from the painstaking recreation of movie locations to Bruce Campbell’s goofy one-liners. However, when it comes to raw entertainment value, there’s an imbalance between the forces of good and evil. Playing as the survivors can be fun with friends but lacks the fun or variety of being an evildoer.

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.

Evil Dead: The Game is a game that is great in concept, but makes the same mistake that other games looking to dethrone Dead by Daylight make: Focusing on one franchise and expecting it to carry the whole experience. Evil Dead: The Game has a solid foundation but stagnates very easily due to a lack of variety in gameplay objectives and maps. Not to mention it relies on people working together in order to win as one side, which doesn’t work without a solid communication system that everyone actually uses or a community that actually wants to work together.

Evil Dead is the latest 4v1 asymettrical horror title, this time coming from World War Z developer Saber Interactive.

Evil Dead: The Game is a blast. It’s fun to play, difficult in spots, and something I can see myself returning to again and again just to keep exploring and learning, as well as unlocking new things as I’m sure they’ll become available over the games’ lifespan. Plus, for Deadites out there, it’s beyond a great buy with lore plugged into just about every design choice, line of dialogue, and piece of the landscape. So pick it up and all the king baby.
