Army of Darkness recreates the battle for
Arthur's Castle at the end of the film, as the Deadites swarm over
the walls in their attempt to capture the Book of the Dead. The
players take the roles of some of the important characters from the
film (Ash, Henry, etc.) and try to defeat Evil Ash and his horde of
Deadites. The game can be played cooperatively where the evil forces
are controlled by predetermined objectives, or instead one of the
players can control all of the evil forces. Game play consists of
players searching the castle for allies and equipment they can use
to fight the Deadites (flaming arrows, explosives, etc.) and the
actual combating of the evil army. Players win if they defeat the
four evil champions. Evil wins if Evil Ash gets the Book of the Dead
out of the castle or if the Deadite army kills all of the
players.
