A couple of new Evil Dead: The Game gameplay videos are out on the loose, showing off Demon, Survivors, and and how they will play! Check out the latest videos below as well as the new details regarding the Survivors archetypes.
Here are the Survivor archetypes for Evil Dead: The Game who will eventually face off with the Deadites:
Leaders
Leaders are all about auras and playing close to your friends. While this might seem like a no-brainer for survival, some of the more advanced strategies involve splitting up the survivors in order to push for objectives extremely fast before the demon can grow in power or lockdown locations. If you do plan to stick close to your allies, leaders come with a variety of cool bonuses to make your entire group stronger, such as reducing incoming damage, boosting outgoing damage, reducing fear buildup, and more. Bringing leaders makes everything easier, so if you plan to be a team player, grab a leader and go!
Warriors
Warriors love getting into melee combat and have extra health to support them in scraps. Warriors are better with melee options like axes, chainsaws, shovels, and more. Warriors generally get cool abilities to help them roll around in a pack of Deadites, executing finishing moves to tear their body parts right off with style. Many Warrior perks activate based on engaging in close proximity combat, and can even give temporary shields or invulnerability!
Hunter
While ammo can be tougher to come by than something to whack your enemies with, Hunters excel at ranged options, and can even use skills to reduce your need to scrounge up bullets. They can also hold more ammo, so once you’re done with the opening phases of the game and loaded up to tackle objectives, you won’t have to go hunting in houses for more. Hunters are also experts at finding more and better loot, so even if the Demon finds you quickly, you might be able to find some really great gear before the situation gets dire.
Supports
Supports come with numerous skills to help keep your survivors in the fray, including ways to create shields, gain health, or reduce fear. They come with bonus starting consumables too! If you’re looking to bring a guaranteed all-star to the team, pick Cheryl Williams, as her area-of-effect healing zone can turn the tide of matches in your favor in an immense fashion. In fact, she might even be borderline overpowered, so grab some colas and go rock with support! Remember, supports in Evil Dead: The Game are still going to be deep in the action, looting, shooting, and scooting, even with their focus on helping to keep everyone alive.
