With loads of evil creatures and undead apparitions, it seems appropriate that Evil Dead: Hail to the King will offer similar stylings as horror-fests such as Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark, complete with pre-rendered backgrounds and real-time characters. Still, the comparison seems almost unfair, as the team at Heavy Iron has completely re-thought its way through every aspect of the design. Unlike the developers of the aforementioned series, those at Heavy Iron feel they need not take themselves too seriously when dealing with such campy horror fare. (To this day, we believe that Capcom wasn't trying to be funny with Resident Evil dialogue such as "It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you"). Add to each area loads of animations (fires flicker, fog drifts in and out) and 24-bit color (a rarity on PlayStation), and this is one of the best looking games of its type.
