However, just as he is about to leave the asylum, Professor Knowby's spirit appears to Ash, telling him that Reinhard's plan requires the closing of several portals and how Sally is in danger for having the diary.
Ash briefly breaks the fourth wall, telling us that "Ash is back in business", and throws Sparky's head away. As he goes through the asylum, Ash finds an electric deadite named Sparky. He eventually finds his clothing, his boomstick and his chainsaw in the process. Ash travels through the asylum killing deadites with a pistol he retrieved from a dead security guard.
The evil also breaks Ash free in the process. Just after Sally leaves, Reinhard accidentally unleashes the dead through the Necronomicon. Ash thanks Sally for her efforts and awkwardly flirts with her. Ash is briefly visited by his lawyer, Sally who mentions how she found Professor Knowby's diary and believes Ash's story about the Necronomicon and the cabin. The game begins in Sunny Meadows, the asylum Ash is committed to. In the process he releases an army of Deadites on the unsuspecting world and it is Ash's job to stop the doctor and put the Deadites back where they belong. Reinhard, somehow in possession of Professor Raymond Knowby's diary and the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, plans on using the books to bring about his ascension to power. Convinced the world thinks he is crazy, the truth is much more nefarious. The game takes place in an alternate reality from the original trilogy, depicting what would have happened if Ash did not get sent back in time at the end of the film Evil Dead II.Īsh Williams (voiced by Bruce Campbell) is locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane, as a result of the events that took place in The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II. It is unconnected to the previous video game Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick.

Rage mode transforms Ash into a powerful deadite killing machine. When the rage meter is filled up to a decent amount it allows Ash to go into “rage mode”. When the player kills enough enemies it fills up his rage meter. In contrast with previous games, the game automatically gives the player unlimited ammunition for his weapons and unlimited gas to his chainsaw. Sometimes enemies will need a ‘finishing move’ (pressing a specific button) in order to completely destroy them. At times, Sam is controlled by the computer and destroys adversaries without assistance. The player can also possess Sam to get through small openings the purpose is to open a door or a switch. The player can kick Sam into openings to open doors or onto enemies to pop their heads off. Unlike other games where killing a friend ingame is taboo at best, Sam actually comically dies many times in the game.
Early on in the game Ash receives his sidekick Sam who fights along with him in battle. The player can find different kinds of weapons in levels which find use in different situations. The player takes the role of Ash Williams as he fights off hordes of Deadites. The gameplay mostly consists of hack and slash with small conveniently placed puzzles.
