![]() The first thing that will catch your eye in this game is that it is in black and white, providing a retro look and bad vibe. Will you be able to help him escape his worst nightmares? Help Bendy escape in a frantic raceīendy in Nightmare Run is a refreshing infinity running game with a few touches of the horror genre. After starring the terrifying mobile game Bendy and the Ink Machine, Bendy now returns in this new title by the Joey Drew Studios. The fact it’s free also makes the steep start a little more reasonable.Bendy is a little devil with a big head who looks mysteriously like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Disney's Mickey Mouse's predecessor. That’s the hard part with Bendy Run – I’m not sure whether to give it a low score due to how demanding it is, or praise it for offering such a deep experience in a genre packed with emptier titles. If you do want a slight edge, the game gives you bonus health for watching ads before starting a level, which in a rare case, I have to recommend you do when starting out. There’s cans of meat to collect that unlock additional powers and new films to test yourself against, on top of multiple challenges to complete per-stage. If you can dig this challenge, Bendy Run has plenty of content to offer. Hazards on the road, flying enemies that require jumping and tossing a weapon at the same time, and more can all push your fingers to the limit. You can ground stomp on enemies, leap and move between three rows, and toss weapons, and that’s just your abilities. It’s a well crafted experience but the sheer speed of everything proved a bit much at times. This isn’t to say Bendy Run is unplayable, but instead, intense. My touchscreen sometimes struggled to keep up with the fine-tuned responses some sections needed. So much so, you’ll find yourself wishing for some proper controls. All together, Bendy Run makes for a surprisingly deep and challenging experience. Then you lather some Super Mario-esque jumping along with a variety of enemies and multiple ‘films’ to unlock and play through. In essence, Bendy Run is what happens when Infinity Blade‘s boss design has a baby with Temple Run‘s infinite race to the finish line. Fortunately, that’s totally worth it because my gosh this game looks good and has way more depth than it deserves for being such an out of left-field tie-in. This is actually so much closer to Super Mario that one can’t help but shake the feeling the reason we’re seeing Bendy on the cover is thanks to the franchise’s charmingly retro art style in the vein of classic cartoons and Cuphead. The original was an episodic horror game that’s basically ‘What if you combined Mickey Mouse with Five Nights at Freddy’s” and this… really isn’t. Bendy & The Ink Machine is an odd choice for a mobile game spin-off. ![]()
