Evil Dead: Regeneration
About the Game
Taking place right after the events depicted in the movie Evil Dead II , Ash is arrested for the murder of the Deadite bodies found at the cabin and convicted. Found psychopathic, Ash is sentenced to Sunny Meadows, an institute for the criminally insane. Though free from the madness that plagued him in the woods, Ash learns that the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead, has fallen into the hands of Dr. Vladimir Reinhard, the person in charge of the asylum. In the basement, Dr. Reinhard experiments on unlocking the secrets of the Necronomicon.
Story & Setting
Also along on the quest is Sam, turned into a half-Deadite by Dr. Reinhard and acting as Ash's sidekick in a quest for revenge.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Players control Ash, who fights with a variety of collectable weapons including the trademark chainsaw-hand and shotgun, as well as a pistol, a flamethrower, a grenade launcher and a harpoon gun to pick up. For the most part, Ash will need to hack and shoot at various zombie creatures until their bodies become weak. At that point, players can press a button to have Ash unleash a finishing move using his weapons. Sam can be controlled after finding certain "possession" symbols in the game. Ash can also kick Sam in order to attack enemies and activate puzzles.
Standout Features
- Evil Ash: Ash can also collect "evil essence" in order to turn himself into "Evil Ash", a more powerful version of himself.
