Evil Dead: Regeneration

Evil Dead: Regeneration takes place after the events of Evil Dead 2. Ash is sent to Sunny Meadows after being blamed for the Deadite bodies discovered at the cabin, only to learn that Dr. Vladimir Reinhard has been experimenting with the Necronomicon Ex Mortis. When the experiments unleash evil and turn inmates into zombie Deadites, Ash must fight through the resulting nightmare.

This third-person action game combines horror, shooting, and hack-and-slash combat. Ash uses weapons such as his chainsaw-hand, shotgun, pistol, flamethrower, grenade launcher, and harpoon gun. Weakened enemies can be finished with weapon-based finishing moves, while collected evil essence allows Ash to become the more powerful Evil Ash.

Ash is accompanied by Sam, a half-Deadite created by Dr. Reinhard. After finding possession symbols, players can control Sam, and Ash can also kick him to attack enemies or activate puzzles.
