Evil Dead: The Game allows players will be able to choose from among a large set of characters. The adaption of Sam Raimi’s concept pits four players in Evil Dead The Game Survivors against one player who serves as the enemy in a game of survival. And it all appears to be remarkably accurate to the film trilogy as well as the television show that inspired it.
For Survivors and Demons alike, there are numerous playable characters to pick from, but finding the one that’s best for your particular style of play can be a challenge at first. Each of the Evil Dead: The Game Survivors in the game has been broken down in this guide, along with their perks and how they interact with one another.
Survivor classes in Evil Dead: The Game may be broken down into 4 distinct classes or categories:
- Leader
- Warrior
- Hunter
- Support
