Evil Dead: The Game

[Nick el Ass]

Played a lot of solo since release, and after the last update for what it is worth teams are playing more as a cohesive unit... but the amount of demon players using Baal can be counted on one hand. Evil Ash is taking over.

Couldn't figure out how to do it for an anniversary, but now Saber is like Oprah only they are giving out xp and points instead of gifts and/or bees.

I don't have the game yet but from what I can see, Linda & Shelly from the first movie aren't in it? Even a Linda from Evil Dead 2?

Doubling sp/xp should become the norm since the grind for later prestige levels takes way too long.

It could go either way because there are rumors going around that Embracer Group could shut down Saber US, and that is the main headquarters since they moved Evil Dead The Game from Saber in Madrid who put their heart into creating it before having it taken from them in another sign of infinite wisdom (sarcasm). The game is savable, but it will take a herculean effort from Tim and his team and admitting to a break down in communication is a good step.

It's a shame modern multiplayer games don't allow players to host their own servers like in the old days. Once a game studio goes under, people who bought their game are SOL.

Amazingly Saber hasn't done so much damage that you can't find a match, and last night they were a little slower... but were still quite entertaining for various reasons. It would be nice if they let people run servers, or keep it up like fans/players did for Friday the 13th which has gotten an update more recently than Evil Dead The Game even if it was to make it so that every player had every perk in the last months before they close down for good. I'm guessing the next big move is to make it available on Game Pass in a last attempt to boost the player base that failed on Steam due to lack of cross progression.

Huh, an interesting update from them.

 

[Nick el Ass]

Ok, whatever happens to this game I will except it if and only if they give me enough time to get Cheryl to prestige level 5. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through the last level, and god damn it I'm going to get at least one character there even if it kills me in the end.

To be quite honest, i'm not surprised it happen with how their performance was during the first year of the game releasing. Good news in my book. I hope they find a good replacement for the job!

Good news indeed. All it took was for it to nearly come crashing down before they realized something was majorly wrong, and for that guy to tout his work with streamers shows he was out of place since those live streams got such bad reactions they had to quit doing them. Hell, most of the streamers on those had no knowledge of anything Evil Dead related... and most of them never played the game and/or covered it to any degree after they took place. Pixelz was the only one who did, and they treated him poorly by acting like they couldn't find his account despite the fact he is honest and still streams the game.
