PlanetDreamcast - "A masterpiece of lazy design strapped onto a fantastic idea, this game uses its license to fool unsuspecting fans of Raimi's films, and of survival horror games in general, into thinking it might live up to its title." Review by XianMrtyr. [Dreamcast].

GameSpot - "'Evil Dead: Hail to the King' unfortunately offers little of the appeal of its source material, as everything about the game is derivative, boring, or just plain bad." Review by Brett Todd with screen shots and score. [Windows] (April 30, 2001).

IGN - "The suckage wasn't just saved for the visual and auditory portion of Hail to the King, though...no, no. Gameplay is equally as tedious." Review by Tal Blevins. [Windows] (April 24, 2001).

ActionTrip - "Many of 'Evil Dead' worshipers will want to try this game; I wouldn't recommend it however, simply because it might make you hate the Evil Dead trilogy for the rest of your life." Review by Ure Paul. [Windows] (April 13, 2001).

GamePro - "It's a mystery (and a shame) why with solid survival horror games like 'Nightmare Creatures' or the 'Resident Evil' series out there as examples, a 'can't-miss' movie license like Evil Dead couldn't have faired better." Review by Atomic Dawg. [PC] (February 1, 2001).

GameSpot - Rated 4.2/10 by Joe Fielder. "Had the battle sequences not been so maddeningly frustrating and frequent, Evil Dead: Hail to the King would at least weigh in as a decent Resident Evil clone, but they work to make the game almost unplayable." Reader reviews and screen shots. [PlayStation] (December 11, 2000).
