Evil Dead Hail to the King attempts to
marry the concepts of the film series with the style of play found in Capcom's
Resident Evil games you view Evil Dead
from a variety of fixed camera perspectives, kill monsters with your shotgun
and chainsaw, and store away items that you don't have enough room to carry in
a mysterious box that magically reappears in several different places
throughout the course of the game. The gameplay in Evil Dead differs from
Resident Evil in that it favors action over puzzle solving. To its credit, the
game provides ample amounts of ammo and health. It's unlikely that you'll have
to replay a section of the game more than once to make sure that you have
enough bullets and first aid kits to get through a tough spot, which happens
frequently in the Resident Evil series.
Wealth of ammo and health aside, there
are so many monsters in Evil Dead that it often feels like you're swimming
through them. Deadites well up from the ground in front of you, disappear, and
then reappear until you destroy them. Some areas will spawn so many creatures
that you'll eventually decide to run away because you've grown bored or annoyed
with the whole sequence. Battling multiple foes simultaneously leads to a new
set of frustrations. Groups of enemies surround and attack you while you're
busy fighting one of them. This would be fine if you possessed a group attack,
but you don't, and to make matters worse, a chainsaw can get caught up in the
belly of a single creature, leaving you vulnerable to attack from the others.
If you try to avoid the monsters, you'll notice even greater problems with Evil
Dead. Imagine running down a path and having a Deadite appear in front of you.
You move to one side to avoid it, and it knocks you off your feet. You get up
and try to keep running past it, only to get stuck on a spot of bad collision
detection in the environment. Then another monster appears in front of you.
From there, you're stuck having to take on both of them, and it's likely that
at least one more creature will appear before you manage to move on to the next
screen. Instances like this, as well as the times when you intend to stand and
fight for that matter, feel similar to running a marathon through a shopping
mall.
Evil Dead's fixed camera angles often defer
to cinematic perspectives instead of those that are actually useful in a fight.
This means that you'll often find yourself on a path or in a room battling a
Deadite and you won't be sure if your attack is lined up correctly (your foes,
however, don't seem to have any trouble doing the same). This is a classic
example of a graphical problem affecting gameplay, although the visuals do
possess a few nice touches outside of that. The game's rendered backgrounds
work well to re-create the mood of the Evil Dead films, and they're given some
semblance of life through the use of short video loops. These create the
illusion of movement such as tree shadows swaying in the wind (although this
element is presented more successfully in the Dreamcast version of the game and
in Eidos' Fear Effect, for example). Subtler visuals such as the chunks of gore
that drip off of Ash's chainsaw after a battle with a Deadite are also worth
noting.
