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 we think it’s got much more life in it yet. Come get some.
Evil Dead: The Game surprises by offering pretty solid action mechanics, a functional co-op model and amazing visuals, even if it needs to fix some rough edges here and there. However, it lacks the charisma so present in the franchise on which it is inspired and will depend a lot on community support and extra content to stay alive.

Playing as the Kandarian Demon isn't as fun as it should be and the single-player experience is somewhat lacking, but if you want to team up with three friends and show a bunch'a deadites just how deadly a prosthetic chainsaw can be, this is the game for you.
Overall, Evil Dead: The Game is a solid attempt at the asymmetrical PVP multiplayer genre that utilizes the movie license extremely well. If you are a fan, you’ll be happy. However, if you are looking for an amazing multiplayer experience, then sadly the game doesn’t quite hit the mark. The repetitive nature of the gameplay loop in every match, whether you are a survivor or a Kardavian demon, hurts my enjoyment of the game.
Evil Dead: The Game could be another horror game falling into the well of asymmetrical 4v1 but by respecting the saga and the genre it manages to positively stand out from the rest, offering more than just another horror game. With a very affordable price tag, whether with friends, strangers or with the help of the AI, countless terrifying sessions await you.

For fans of the Evil Dead Franchise, this is a no-brainer and totally worth it. The amount of fan service is excessive, well done, and enjoyable. If you have never watched Evil Dead, there is still a fair amount of fun gameplay here. But will I still be playing this game next year? I'll need some more game modes, characters, and tweaks. In the meantime, it is a groovy good time.
Evil Dead: The Game succeeds with its multiplayer component, which is still enjoyable with friends, but if you're looking for a single-player experience, you'll be disappointed.
Are you ready to step in the shoes of Ash Williams and face off against the armies of darkness? In this chaotic co-op PvP multiplayer based on the iconic Evil Dead franchise, you can play as good or evil – team up with three other players, explore, loot and fight as you play as characters from all three original Evil Dead films or take control of the Kandarian demon and hunt down Ash and his friends, possessing Deadites, environmental objects and even other players in an attempt to either kill or stop the survivors from completing their objectives.
Evil Dead: The Game manages to tick a hell of a lot of boxes when it has no business too. The hammy horror is surprisingly well put together and the balance between good versus evil feels fair during play. The cabin in the woods is lovingly recreated, Campbell’s snarky and witty remarks are out in force and terrorising players as the Kandarian Demon is something any fan can get on board with. Each of the survivor classes offers unique ways to play and while there are a few drawbacks such as the lack of a meaty single-player and camera issues, Evil Dead: The Game is an entertaining, fun game that can be summed up in one, all-encompassing word: Groovy.
We recommend Evil Dead: The Game with 7 points out of 10. Frequent updates and promised additional content to prove that the developers care about the game and do not want to stop soon. You will enjoy the game if you are a fan of the series. But if you come from a camp that has never seen a movie, don't despair. The game brings enough great mechanics to catch you for hours and entertain you.

Evil Dead: The Game is the perfect combination of survival horror and multiplayer. It's an ode to the classic horror film, and both fans and newcomers will find themselves enjoying this groovy gorefest.
Evil Dead The Game is a groovy game, one that should give you hours upon hours of playtime as you play through its various modes or delve into Mission Mode to know the full truth. In the words of Joe Bob: Four stars, check it out!
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 multiplayer survival horror game similar to Dead by Daylight. A team of Survivors takes on a Kandarian Demon. When the ritual comes to a halt, the Survivors have won. The gameplay is best played with friends, but the game is also very good to play alone.

An essential purchase for fans of Ash Williams and the unique blend of gore and comedy that the Evil Dead series has created, this asymmetrical horror game builds on the foundation that games like Dead by Daylight have laid. It might not innovate but there’s a surprising amount of content and replayability in Evil Dead: The Game that raids 40 years of film and television for ideas and puts them to excellent use.
Evil Dead: The Game can be fun in short bursts, but at the moment of writing, the game's begging for more content to keep itself fresh and populated.

Evil Dead: The Game blew away my expectations. As a fan of the series I was both excited and worried going in. Could an Evil Dead game would be done right in 2022? The answer is a resounding yes. This is absolutely the best example of an asymmetric multiplayer game to date and one that fans of the series and horror fans in general should check out.
The game is a fun diversion and fun in groups and gives fans of the series the action and nostalgia they have come to expect. Some may cite a lack of initial depth to the gameplay and maps but I am sure as time goes on and more updates arrive, the game will continue to grow.
Evil Dead: The Game is a fun but somewhat flawed take on the best horror franchise around. The care that went into the world and aesthetic of the game is top-notch, and it can be very fun to play. It has some balance issues and could use a tune-up on the single-player front, but otherwise, there’s a lot of potential here for fun nights with friends.
