Evil Dead: The Game may be a bit rough around the edges, but it's surprisingly fun as both an asymmetrical game and an adaptation. Our review:
✖ As the asymmetrical multiplayer genre grows, horror continues to be the prime orchard to pick from. From Friday the 13th and Predator to Ghostbusters and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, these games are so plentiful now that when you consider their frequency with the iffy nature of movie-to-game adaptations, there's reason to be skeptical of any new release.
Zipping around the map while possessing trees and survivors and laying traps naturally sounds like more fun than playing as a human, and in most other games built in this 4v1 style or similar formats, that's true. However, Evil Dead: The Game firstly stands out by actually making the survivor team into a formidable, impactful force to be reckoned with.
That's not to say the demon isn't a trip to play as either, but its goals require a bit more luck and planning compared to those of the survivors. When the game first launched, survivors tried to plan their actions while the demon had one goal to achieve: kill the other team. The one-person demon team could thrive in this chaos, but as survivors got more organized, the demon's job got harder.
Another win for Evil Dead: The Game is that it's one of the few adaptations that's actually made me want to revisit the source material. After being familiar with The Evil Dead but not so much the other spinoffs and sequels the game pulls from, Evil Dead: The Game, with its single-player challenges and its robust cast of characters, channels well the atmosphere and campiness of the Evil Dead series.
