Bendy™ in Nightmare Run ©Copyright by FunGameShare, Do not Reproduce.

Bendy in Nightmare Run is a mobile spin-off adventure game for the Bendy franchise, and was released for free in 2018 on both Google Play and iOS AppStore on mobile devices. It was produced and developed by Joey Drew Studios. Since its release it has received generally positive reviews.

In this game, you need to play as Bend, Boris the Wolf or Alice Angel, and dodge and counter-attack four of the biggest and nastiest bullies (Chester, Gaskette, Canoodle and Dewey) depicted in the classic 1930’s cartoons of Joey Drew Studios. The gameplay itself is very similar to other mobile games like Temple Run and Subway Surfers. What makes this game unique is its graphics. The game takes place in the Bendy cartoon universe, which is designed to be black and white. And the game’s scenes are varied - whether you’re in an adventurous pirate ship, on a bustling city street, in a crowded junkyard or in a not-so-quiet library, the chasing and fighting never stop!

The game is not just about avoiding the obstacles. During the course of the game, you need to collect cans filled with soup and other retro goodies. These items are useful for unlocking new costumes, buying new characters, and various improvements. In each cartoon scene, a different boss will chase you from the beginning to the end and assault you with increasingly powerful attacks throughout the level. And each attack from the boss is different, for example, some bosses throw tires at you, while others use lasers and cannon blasts. Therefore, you need to choose different characters to deal with the enemy’s attacks.

In addition to collecting soup cans on the run, you can also get more soup cans by defeating the boss and not taking damage. These soup cans can be used to level up your character, and you can also customize your character with unlockable costumes and episode-specific weapons. Besides, you can use three different weapons in the game: a brick, an axe or an anvil, each of which deals different damage.

Where there’s Bendy, there’s always trouble brewing, and Bendy needs your help to stay out of trouble. The chase is on and the battel begins!
