Evil Dead: The Game is a cross-play co-op and asymmetrical PvP action game, pitting fan-favorite characters against the vile Deadites and Demons from the Evil Dead series.

Below is the complete list of all playable Survivor classes in Evil Dead: The Game, their Skills, as well as how to unlock them:
