Evil Dead: The Game Reviews
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!
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.

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 for franchise fans, and those who like games that need players to work together to complete objectives will treasure it. While there is space for improvement across the board, the game is still a gratifying experience right out of the gate.
Evil Dead: The Game is pretty damned fun. For how long I’m not sure, but at $39.99 retail at launch, I think it's well worth the price if you have anyone to play with. Even solo I love playing as the demon and terrorizing at least 2 and sometimes 4 versions of Bruce Campbell. Post-launch support will help this title sink or swim in the long run, but at launch, this Deadite by Daylight is a damned good time.
If you can accept its unvarnished edges, Evil Dead: The Game is a fiendishly addictive asymmetric multiplayer game, crafted with a clear love for Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise.
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 blends the authentic movies' atmosphere and some fine mechanics with notable balance issues and a lack of content.

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.

In its current state of this review, Evil Dead: The Game is sorely lacking content and variety, but it does have a lot of potential. A medieval inspired stage called Castle Kandar is going to be included in a future update and who knows; maybe the 2013 remake might get represented one day. There needs to be more fleshed out single player material and different modes for sure.
Evil Dead: The Game needs some polish to take it to the next level, as there are some areas that could do with some quality-of-life improvements, and to fix some of the weird physics.
Evil Dead: The Game is another solid product based on a movie license that offers a good time for fans of the series and newcomers alike, but don't expect it to knock your socks off beyond that.
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.
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.
It’s sometimes a little rough around the edges, but there are some amazing selling points when it comes to Evil Dead. It has the look, feel and sound of proceedings down pat, even down to the movement of the evil presence as it stalks Ash and his friends in the cold, dark woods.
Evil Dead shines with fan service, but at least in the release version it still has some decisive quirks.

For all the fans of the Sam Raimi Franchise, Evil Dead: The Game is quite a blessing and a good asymetrical game overall. Melee combats are great except in tight places, in this case, it can be really difficult to understand what's going on screen. We hope that Saber Interactive will continue to expand its game with new content.

Evil Dead: The Game works as an asymmetrical multiplayer and as a great tribute to the franchise. By polishing some details, we could be looking at a new benchmark of the genre.

Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
Evil Dead: The Game is a great asymmetrical game. It's fun in both roles and has a lot of content, but it still has to correct several problems.
