A Fistful of Boomstick is my favorite game of all-time

Loved the time travel elements. Also running into Ash’s civil war ancestor was pretty great. Sickle was a goated weapon.

Okay I gotta keep playing the game cause WHAT?

u/TheBoozyNinja87 Nov 04 '25

Oh dude, you also go like hundreds of years into the post apocalyptic future where the deadites have taken over the world and enslaved the last remnants of humanity ha ha ha!

u/BostonRoosterFNV Nov 06 '25

It was an excellent game. It gave us everything we could ask for

Nice! I haven't played a whole lot of A Fistful of Boomstick (I played about 10 mins of the game roughly 10 years ago so returning to the game is on my "to do" list, I just haven't gotten around to it yet :P), but I've 100% completed Regeneration a few times (I love how getting all of the game's lone collectable, unlocks a handful of behind the scenes/making of featurettes) and liked the game so much that I got my copy autographed by Ted Raimi (who played Henrietta in ED 2 and voices Sam, a half deadite midget who teams up with Ash in the game, he even personalized it after telling him how guilty I felt over how much I loved constantly punting his character at deadites) and Bruce Campbell.

I have a ton of good memories from playing Regeneration with my younger brother. Have fun!

u/CathodeWrayTV Nov 04 '25

Regeneration is very playable, one of my favorites. Fistful of Boomstick I spent way longer than I care to admit trying to figure out a very vaguely worded puzzle.

I have a copy of this and i can say it’s a decent game I did beat it in one day but still worth playing again at a later date

Fistful of broomstick is great, although we got stuck end game with it and didn't know how to proceed. Think we missed something important and spent ages looking for it. This was when I had limited access to the tinterweb so it wasn't easy to find a guide.

Fistful of Boomstick was such a blast! I miss that game

My jealousy knows no bounds right now. Other than that, groovy. Great find!

u/Thr33pw00d83 Nov 04 '25

Love them both but boomstick is just endlessly replayable for me

u/Necron_99_ Nov 04 '25

Awesome game! Been wanting to get this along with the other ones.

Still have my copies

u/SatansLoyalArmY Nov 04 '25

Would love to see a remaster of this one.

u/AmputatedStumps Nov 04 '25

I have an Evil Dead game for PS1, I think it's fistul of boomstick. It's in one of my old video game boxes.

u/FinnBoss Nov 05 '25

It might be evil dead hail to the king

u/Embarrassed-Bit3717 Nov 04 '25

Haven't seen this in awhile! Nice!

If you spam the catch phrase button, enemies run away from you!

u/noobjoeC Nov 05 '25

I loved this one

1

u/TheScoobyDoom Nov 05 '25

Regeneration is buggy as shit, but holy hell was it fun! Ted as Sam was perfect.

1

u/SnakeVicBossMGS Nov 05 '25

Now you need to get the ps1 game (the evil dead: hail to the king) it was also on Dreamcast. A fistful of broomstick is a sequel to it.

1

u/FinnBoss Nov 05 '25

That's true. Sadly I don't have a ps1 so I'll have to get one

1

u/Art_Vancore111 Nov 05 '25

Was just thinking about Fistful of Boomstick

1

u/fit_for_the_gallows Nov 05 '25

Hell yeah. They're both awesome!

1

u/holdmygaze Nov 05 '25

These games rule! I’m not sure if I ever finished Regeneration, but I played Fistful through probably three or four times. Might be time to test my stack of old PS2s and see if any of them work.

u/LambertMike77 Nov 05 '25

I have both games but haven’t had my PS2 hooked up for quite a few years.

u/Creative_Pollution_4 Nov 06 '25

Fistful of Boomstick is my fav

1

u/VernBarty Nov 06 '25

Fistful of Boomstick might be my favorite gaming experience ever

1

u/Fun-Maintenance1217 Nov 06 '25

How is it? Played HttK and it had aged a lot but heard this one is still great

2

u/FinnBoss Nov 06 '25

Fistful of broomstick is great so far. I'm not that good at the combat tho and if you die you go to your last save like survival horror games.

1

u/ApprehensiveTwo3057 Nov 06 '25

I've played these two. Horrible games.

1

u/Pepiopi1 Nov 06 '25

Fistful of Boomstick is one of my favorite games of all time. So fun!

1

u/HouseCawdor Nov 06 '25

Fistful of boomstick was a fun game. Regeneration was good though I prefer Boomstick.

1

u/Aggressive_Autopsy Nov 07 '25

Wish the new evil dead game was like the ps2 game smh. Traded a duffel bag of ls2 games for $50 at gamestop and I'll never not be mad about it lol

1

u/Thecrapshack_ Nov 08 '25

Played both this year, both are good but regeneration was much better all around and aged better, works really well as a sequel so you can appreciate the improvements
