Evil Dead The Game puts you in the shoes of Ash Williams, the iconic character from the classic horror film series, and other characters from the franchise. The game takes place on maps featuring familiar locations, such as the cabin in the woods where the first two films were set. Your goal is to rid the area of demons by completing tasks and fending off hordes of Deadites with any weapons you can find. So if you’re a fan of the Evil Dead films, will you love this asymmetrical game? Let’s find out in this Evil Dead The Game PC review.

When Bruce Campbell told fans about the game back in 2018, I was excited. It had been a long wait since the days of Evil Dead A Fistful of Boomstick and Evil Dead Regeneration on my beloved PS2. Although they were short experiences, I enjoyed both. But they left me wanting more.

Even when I watched the 2013 movie Evil Dead, I wondered what a modern version of the game would look like. But I always imagined a “new Evil Dead game” would be a single-player experience. So when I saw the reveal trailer at The Game Awards 2020, I was both excited and skeptical. Excited for the “Evil Dead” gameplay portion. And skeptical because of the asymmetric multiplayer. But boy, now that it’s finally here, I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out. The game tried to take the best parts of every other asymmetric PVE game, combine them, and make them the best they could.

Let's take a closer look at the different parts of this game.
