Evil Dead The Game: Each Demon Explained

Evil Dead The Game pits Ash Williams against the deadite demons. He doesn’t go it alone though, accompanied by other versions of himself from across the franchise and some other notable characters from the franchise. But we don’t care about all that, what about the deadites they will be up against. The high tier deadites that we control, who are they and what can they do. Players have had an idea of who we will control when playing as the demon side. So let’s go over who they are and what each demon does in Evil Dead The Game.

Each Demon in Evil Dead The Game Explained

The Demons in Evil Dead The Game vary a bit from how the survivors work, each demon can summon regular deadites, elite deadites, and the boss deadite which is the demon you are playing as. however, each demon also has two abilities that change depending on which one you are playing as. Let’s go over their specifics and how each one is supposed to be played

Henrietta, The Warlord
