In RetroRealms: Halloween, you embody horror legend Michael Myers in a pixel-art side-scrolling hack-and-slash adventure. Stalk through atmospheric, retro-styled levels—morgues, suburbia, and the iconic Myers house—using Myers’ relentless melee attacks and signature stealth to mow down victims, evade police, and solve simple environmental puzzles. With tight, NES-era gameplay and a chilling chiptune soundtrack, it’s a nostalgic yet brutal tribute to classic horror franchises.
— “It’s a simple and fun hack and slash that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Just keep in mind that it’s probably a tad overpriced and not a 100% Halloween game—more like Michael Myers meets the Overlord.”

— “RetroRealms: Halloween provides a mixture of old school NES difficulty with new thought processes and quality-of-life features. Limited checkpoints and relentless enemy swarms keep the tension high.”

— “The two platformers based on Ash vs Evil Dead and Halloween are fine enough, but their old-school fashion and lack of real quality make for an ultimately disappointing experience.”

RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead puts you in the boots of Ash Williams in a gore-soaked, pixel-art platformer. Wield both your trusty chainsaw and boomstick as you blast through Deadite hordes across varied 16-bit levels inspired by the Starz television series. Dive into the Dark Realm to uncover hidden paths and extra challenges, all set to a pounding chiptune score that perfectly captures the campy horror spirit.
— “I’m buzzing, mate. Buzzing like Ash’s chainsaw. This game is great. I absolutely adore it—laser-targeted at my specific interests: horror, Evil Dead, and arcade action.”
— Retronauts
— “Each minute of these games ooze with great level design, fun enemies, intricate and often hilarious backgrounds, lots of collectibles—and blood, lots of blood. A faithful love letter to ’90s horror.”
— Metacritic Summary
— “After playing the first Evil Dead level as Ash, I was a little disappointed. The level felt bland—like a beginner’s Castlevania. EUR 24.99 seems steep for two re-skins.”
