    The game looks great, never had an issue with lag or connection, people are salty and trolling from DBD, the game has some glitches but it is less buggy than most games and it runs far better than Friday The 13th at launch. The game also looks great and is a fun addition to the genre.

This game is about Tactic ( no flashlight click click or T bagging , moonwalking ) . When you play as the human team you need to act quiet, do objectives, LOOT and think about surroundings because Demon at start is Weak and he cannot even know where are you but like in the movies when humans are cocky and for example want to jump to the car just because they think this is GTA Demon will instantly know where on map this happening and he can adjust his gameplay ( set up traps close to them or predict where they are going ) Game is very fun for a Demon and Survivors because they both got tons of tools to fight with, not only run ( and throw pallet lol ) GORE is massive in this game, demons Puke , bleed , throw they arms and heads and use them as a weapon, mini ashes jump from lockers and steal your weapons, ash hand fight with you, finishers are brutal and playing as a demon is just like in the movie : start weak, use traps to scare everyone and prepare your "playground" , grow in power and summon demons stronger and stronger, posses other players and try to kill their friends or just waste their ammo, finally be strong enough to summon your vessel ( boss ) and this is so great
    P.S - DbD toxic fanboys and YouTubers taking money from behaviour please stay away from this game, nobody want you here    … Expand

    This is a great tribute to the movie saga. It has a style of gameplay similar to Dead By Daylight but it is much better in every way. The graphics and customization are exquisite, it is very pleasant to play. A must have in your game library!

    Such a beautiful game. With just 1 map in the game so far, I still find myself in new areas and fun easter eggs from the Evil Dead universe with 15 hours in the game so far. I was not completely sold while watching the trailers, but was completely blown away after I started playing the game myself. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the Evil Dead franchise!

I had one game where everyone was out for themselves. That wasn't a good experience, but afterwards I got a team who was really sticking together and man it just made it so much more fun. I highly recommend making an organized group if you are intent on winning. If not, then playing with randoms is no big deal. I do it and win still.

    I did have a one bug where I can't move, but none other than that. And only once in about 20ish something games played.

    I haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer game since PUBG was new. Obviously there are some balancing things that can be worked out over time. The shooting and action is solid. There is a level of depth to this game that I'm surprised by. Also this game runs great even on my laptop. I hope the developers continue to make smart decisions and continue to add cool fun stuff to this cool fun game.

    A beautiful love letter to the franchise, but more than than, an excellent game in its own right. More action packed than Dead by Daylight and far more entertaining and well paced than most other asymmetrical multiplayer games on the market, Evil Dead is a delightful romp with enough content and characters to keep you entertained for the foreseeable future.

    Mixing together the films and the television series, Sam Raimi’s universe comes alive in a new entry into the asymmetric horror games. Four players pick from a pool of characters with different abilities and hero classes, while one player controls a demon class.

    The heroes work together exploring the map, finding weapons, supplies, and focusing on the primary objectives to achieve victory; Finding three parts of a map, retrieving the Kandarian Dagger and the lost pages of the Necronomicon, defeating the Dark Ones, then one last stand defending the restored Necronomicon.

    The demon controls the very evil seen in the franchise. The creepy presence traveling through the woods destroying everything in its path, possessing people and summoning unnatural entities to prevent the heroes from banishing you.

    This was an immediate purchase for me after watching a couple streamers play it. I only needed to see two things. Bruce Campbell and Evil Ash. Army of Darkness has always been one of my favorite movies and this game allowed me to enjoy that in a new way.
    Outside of the main player vs player mode the game does offer a single player experience through a set of story missions. They serve as a nice dive into the game systems leading into the main core of the game. Each unlocks a part of the backstory of Evil Dead and a new hero to use. Oddly very challenging. They offer no check points through the mission and they can easily take up to 30-40 mins to complete. One fatal mistake at the end will cost you a fresh restart. Ouch.

    What this game does well is the ambience of The Evil Dead. Puns, lines right from the movie, characters, demons, jump scares and a feeling of terror. It bundles it all into a 30 minute or less multiplayer match.

    My main concern lies with the longevity of the game's health over time. Finishing a match grants you two different experience points. One for the character you played and one free bank to use on any character. But outside of just playing a match to level up there aren't any other player/demon goals for you to focus on. Personally I enjoy a game more when I have my own personal goals to work on while also playing.

    For example, another asymmetric horror game, Dead by Daylight has a system in place that gives you choices of goals to work on while playing a match. It just adds a bit more to a game that scratches a good part of my brain.
    There is still time for Evil Dead to implement new systems or fun things for players. Recently it was announced by the developers that a free dlc will be coming in the summer with a new map themed around Army of Darkness.

It's a pretty fun game actually, well put together and very fun to be apart of the world for an Evil Dead fan. They obviously knew and cared about the world and lore when making this. I feel like it's fun enough and put together well enough to potentially have gotten a higher score but my experience with it couldn't raise it any. There were some technical issues and horrid people to play with of course. Cause we all know that people suck! Not you or me of course! But, you know, people. Others, that are never us but some how beings that exist that just suck to play with.
    The reason that most randos exist, is because they suck! Or are poopy people, they're stink masters and none of they're friends want to play with them or play the game that they're wanting to play. So they go into online gaming alone playing with other people that are in a similar situation. WAIT, what?! Oh no!! No! Not me! NOT ME TOO!! NO!!!! I promise, I'm no Rando! I... I... WHO AM I?! What have I become? I promise, I'm no rando but I did happen to play alone and randomly with other people who ARE randos. But not me! My mom didn't raise me to be no random person to play Evil Dead The Game with. No! She raised me right. OR DID SHE!? NEVER KNOW! OR DO YOU?

    Anywho... It would be a fun weekend with some friends, a fun couple hours alone... But in either case probably not worth a whole lot of time more than that. If it wasn't Evil Dead it would've gotten a lower score without friends. But it was fun getting back into this world in this way. Don't buy it, unless on a deep deep sale. Or, like I said before if you have a group of friends that are dedicated to putting enough time into it to make it worth it. Even with that, not worth more then $15. GOOD DAY TO YOU!    … Expand

In my experience survivors that just huddle together and watch every direction practically cannot lose against the demon. Stacking melee characters with high damage and health, with the healer is laughably simple. Takes far too long to collect energy as the demon to even attack them until mid to late game. At which point survivors have higher tier weapons to combat you anyway.

    Also people keep comparing this game to Dead By Daylight. STOP. ITS NOT. Absolutely nothing like DBD except that its 4v1. Its extremely similar to Resident Evil Resistance. Another failed horribly balanced and boring game.    … Expand

    The game is pretty, the music is very nice and it was fun until a META was established and the demon feels useless against any team playing properly.
    I've stopped playing until they do some serious balancing.
    And I'm not even talking about the multiple bugs.
    Good potential though.

    Picked it up at a giveaway in Epic Games. And I can say that I would not pay for this game.
    The graphics in this game are not bad. And there are many character.
    But the optimization here is terrible. It has a lot of bugs. The shooting here is poorly.
    To play a few evenings with friends is not bad, but no more. And I wouldn't play it myself.

    While the skill-tree progression is interesting there's nothing beyond a few hours content in this. It's just another bog-standard 4v1 with nothing to offer other than level-grinding.

    Charging £32 for this in the UK is as close to legal theft as you're ever to see. Matchmaking is non-existant, it just pulls randoms together regardless of player level.

    Evil Dead: The Game is clunky but loveable. It's a very good movie-to-video game adaptation, and it's likely as close as we're going to get to a proper and decent "Evil Dead" video game. I had a good deal of fun with it, both as a fan of the movies and as a gamer. It twists a familiar game concept just enough and bolsters it with additional mechanics so that it feels fresh again. Longevity is definitely a concern in terms of content, but at least console cross-play ensures that its player base will stay healthy for a little while.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a magnificent addition to the film that Sam Raimi made. It lives up to the gore and satirical glory that earned decades of reputation for Raimi, and this title combines them in a survival game where you must be creative and smart to know how to finish each level.
