According to the game’s official description, “Put yourself in the shoes of Ash Williams or his companions from the cult classic Evil Dead franchise and team up in a game packed with over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action! The game is inspired by the Starz original Ash versus Evil Dead television series as well as all three original Evil Dead films. You get to play as a team of four survivors who explore, manage their fears, loot and locate essential objects to plug the breach between worlds.”
Unlike previous games in the franchise, you can choose to play the Kandarian Demon and take control of Deaditesand even the major protagonists to swallow their souls and bring Ash’s destruction. Fans can now fight the Deadite armies as Ash, his original pal Scotty, Army of Darkness’ Lord Arthur, or Ash Vs Evil Dead’s Kelly and Pablo. With dialogue recorded specially for the game, it brings the movies to gamers like never before, with incredible character likenesses, over-the-top blood and gore and swooping camera views of the demon spirit.
