    Game ruined by devs who pandered to Survivor players so now no one plays the demon. This means wait times are in XS of 15mins.

    You can tell a lot of love went into the making of this game. It feels polished and extremely fun to play. I can’t wait too see what else they have in store. The missions are extremely difficult but rewarding. The online multiplayer is a blast.

    I'm not a fan of 4v1 games, but Evil Dead is my favorite franchise so I bought it to support Evil Dead, but I ended up getting a fantastic, addictive game!

    This game has some serious legs, it's fun, it's campy, it's gory and is legit fun to smash dedites with others

    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!

    Fun and interesting gameplay, good balance between the deadites and the survivors. Looks great as well. A few bugs here and there, and some areas could be fleshed out a bit more post-launch, but a great base to add content

    Perfect love letter to fans of the franchise. The gore, alongside the silly, campy fun. The missions are difficult but rewarding, reminding me of older days of gaming

    This game is amazing, it's a lot of fun to play with friends and on top of that it's a gift for evil dead fans. I will play as a demon until the end!

    This game is so clearly unbalanced, repitious, and flat-out boring, yet these fanboys still think it constitutes a near-perfect score. It needs a lot of patches and updates before it even comes close to receiving a score in the green.

    Just what we didn't need. Another asymmetrical multiplayer game. Zzzzzzzzzzz. Completely wasted opportunity for a new single player game in the Evil Dead franchise. Yes, this has a single player mode but the main focus is multiplayer. It should have been the other way around with the main focus being a single player campaign.

    Yep another one..same old sh*t. Essentially it's just Dead By Daylight with an Evil Dead coat of paint. Gets boring quickly, very repetitive with little to actually do.

    Thoughts-
    On the whole, Evil Dead: The Game doesn’t break much new ground in terms of asymmetrical multiplayer games, but what it does, it does mostly well. It’s not entirely balanced or varied, so what you see up front is largely what you get, but I found myself still enjoying cutting the heads off of demons and hearing Bruce Campbell’s one-liners just as much ten hours in as I did the first time. It’s not going to add a whole lot to the Evil Dead lore, nor will it make a dent in the gaming landscape, but for what it is, Evil Dead: The Game is worth your time, if only to have some tense, satisfying fun killing demons and humans alike.    … Expand

    Very good game very good graphics and sound and very detailed maps.

    The only thing that bothers you are the survivor players, who unfortunately don't do real teamplay and that's why you always lose. I hope these stupid people move on quickly so you can enjoy the game. But with a good team it's really fun and you can win well.

    Playing as a demon is also fun, especially because the survivors aren't the smartest, so it's easy to win.
    Above all, you can play Demon alone because you are not dependent on other people.

    To all the people stupidly walking the map solo: you're ruining the game for all survivors!    … Expand

    A competent but run-of-the-mill PVE multiplayer game that doesn't do anything noteworthy but will deliver the thrills if you have mates to play with.

    Good game but limited experience. I think for what it is, a 4v1 single map playground, the game accomplishes what it wants to be with a decent gameplay loop. In this genre of game I would increase the rank a few points. Why I gave it a 6 and not an 8. The game has certain restrictions that I believe hurt it in a larger view.

    Despite presenting a number of interesting ideas, Evil Dead: The Game is an experience that quickly becomes monotonous. Not even Bruce Campbell's charisma can exorcise this game of his problems.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a homage to 80s horror and Sam Raimi. It captures the franchise perfectly and you'll grimace and chuckle as the action unfolds. It is excellent as a multiplayer experience. However, solo gamers will find it unfairly harsh and this will frustrate you.

    If you’re a fan of Evil Dead, this game is meant for you. It’s easy to see that the developers are fans of the series as well. Even if you’re not a fan, this game is still a lot of fun. It is one the most balanced asymmetrical game that has released yet. There were a few problems with melee canceling when the game first released, but that exploit has already been addressed in one of the recent patches, so it goes to show that the developers care about balance. The game also has cross-play! If the game can maintain some good download content in the future, this game will be one to talk about and play for the months to come. Just from the start, this game already has “JOIN US” wrote all over it... and if you get that reference, you will enjoy this game the most!
