### 4/5 — Great Re-release, one tiny problem

*2026-08-25*

I loved the original a lot, and when it was de-listed I could only play it through old Apple IDs. So imagine my surprise when I saw the game came back and it’s Really solid. It’s the same game as before which is fine because the original was so good. The gameplay is very fun beating up bosses are very fun and the graphics are lovely to look at. I only remember the Chest boss but the other bosses are all great and hard in their own ways. Nightmare mode is a lot of fun and is this games endless mode and it’s really hard the bosses keep coming back until you die and I thought it was you beat the boss two times but no it’s an endless mode a very hard and rewarding one though. I’m really happy to see that they are going to keep supporting this game with a wave of new content seen in the roadmap, I’m really excited for the new episodes and extra content they are going to add. My only real problem is the ticket system, basically every attempt you do costs a ticket which I don’t like because in the original you could do as much runs as you want. Now I don’t think it ruins it completely but it’s an annoying change that really didn’t need to happen. Great re-release though.

### 4/5 — I love this buut

*2026-08-24*

Okay so I never got to play the original version of this game since it got deleted. And now I can. And now I can and it's great. But the ticket System in this game is really lowers down the experience. I know I’m videos the old version didn't have the tickets so why add it here? It's annoying and I hate when games like these adds mechanics like that. Very annoying please get rid of it. But other than that this is great!

### 5/5 — Absolute cinema

*2026-08-24*

I remember playing this at my moms job on her phone when I was younger, peak nostalgia so happy it’s back 🥹✌️

### 4/5 — The Devil Is Running Again But Needs to Fix his Minor Bugs

*2026-08-24*

This game has been a blast from the past for me and I have been enjoying reliving my childhood and want to thank you for bringing it back. However. There are some minor bugs that I want to address to you to fix .PS it is nothing game braking but just things that need fixing 

1. When on the menu and go to either the ability upgrade/change or the character changer/ costume area, the background music stops after it finishes the track and will not loop it even after going out of it the areas and back to the level select forcing you to restart the game to get the music back but if returning to those areas at the end of track will cause this bug to happen again.

2. When on the level select (Choosing which Bendy in you do) the image of Bendy and the boss moves side to side when tilting you phone left and right (not sure if it is intentional or not) but on Soup Gone Bad this becomes a problem as when tilting your phone or at random times, the phone tilting causes the layers of the image to move around and mess up the image seeing the borders of each layer but also the yellow background that emits is visible with nothing covering it making the image off proportion. 

3. IDK if this is intentional or not but the free 5 ink takes ages to claim like 10-20 secs at max while the bacon soup right above it takes like 2 secs     so my question is why does the ink takes ages while the bacon soup doesn’t even tho they are on a free to play unlock system and right next to each other. 

That’s all I have to report about the bugs I have experience, happy to play this game again after forever and thank you for rereleasing it. Please look into these and keep updating this game. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-24*

Good game

### 5/5 — Return of the Legend!

*2026-08-24*

Back when I first played this game in 2019, I thought it had a unique concept. An actual "endless runner" with some combat mechanics thrown in there and some cute additions. Unfortunately, the old version didn’t live up to the potential. But I do see this version possibly standing out amongst the likes of Acecraft and similar games like it. Keep up the great work you guys! <3

### 5/5 — Ностальгия…

*2026-08-24*

Обожаю эту игру

### 5/5 — Recomendação.

*2026-08-24*

Jogo incrível, fico muito feliz de ter retornado, jogo muito bom para passar o tempo, o problema é que em menos de 1 dia você já consegue zerar ele, mas espero que os novos capítulos cheguem rápido, mas jogo incrível, recomendo!

### 5/5 — Легендарная легенда легендранейшая

*2026-08-23*

Ураааа легенду вернули

### 5/5 — From a Batim & batdr lover!

*2026-08-23*

IT’S BACK!!! Home sweet home! I am super glad that this game came back. I used to play this game when I was little 24/7!! I found out that this game was making a return because of my friends! I have already been in all the acts in each boss, although it wasn’t easy but it turns out I still got it! Thank you Joey Drew Studios for bringing this game back! This it’s a game that I would always replay even if I beat all the  acts 1 million times! Ever since I was little, I loved Bendy. He was the star of the show, even though there was Boris the wolf, Alice angel, and the Butcher gang, Bendy was always my favorite and still is! Now that I’m older and I have both have Bendy and the ink machine and Bendy and the dark revival, I’m excited for future games!

thanks again! Your best pal!

### 5/5 — Amazing but one little thing

*2026-08-23*

I love this game the art work the mechanics all of is amazing except for the ticket thing Im just scratching my head wondering why exactly but it’s just a little annoying but A-m-a-z-i-n-g game

### 5/5 — Feedback and an idea!

*2026-08-23*

I’m so glad they brought it back! Honestly, the ticket system doesn’t bother me, since it’s an ordinary mobile game system, anyways, I have an Idea, this game would be great with chase music! Like a pirate theme for the treasure chest!

### 4/5 — French please

*2026-08-23*

The game is very good but there no French traduction. The game is not in French just in English

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-23*

As a big Batim fan, it feels so good to play this everyday again. The only thing that is bothering me a bit is that the game feels like pay to win a little bit

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2026-08-23*

Ich fand das Spiel schon immer schön aber jetzt wo ich die roadmap gesehen habe freue ich mich schon auf die Updates.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-08-23*

I’m not a huge bendy fan more FNAF but this game is so PEAK would play it sucks you gotta pay for the skins but besides that it’s fun the more you play the more likeable it’s had a good update

### 5/5 — peak

*2026-08-23*

it is so cool revisiting this game but that minor change with tickets could be improved or removed

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Remove the ticket system and then I will give this 5 stars

*2026-08-19*

Read the title

### 2/5 — one GLARING flaw

*2026-08-20*

this game on its own is great, was looking forward to replaying it after a few years. sure, nostalgia and allat, it’s just like it used to be, etc.
i just have one MAJOR complaint. the newly added ticket system that limits your playtime is actually outrageous. you need to use one every time you want to play a game. you get one every thirty minutes and you are limited to SIX. this is something the original version would never even DARE to do. 
and guess what you need to do if you want to keep playing without waiting?  everybody’s favorite: micro-transactions!! yayyyy!!! i can’t believe how money hungry these developers have become since the last time i played one of their games.
all in all, the game is pretty much locked behind a paywall now. major disappointment. this game went from being actually fun to feeling like a rigged carnival game designed to extract as much money from my wallet as humanly possible. 

if you developers really need to make money, at least put some advertisements in this game and for the love of everything remove the ticket system.

do better.

### 2/5 — The ticket system 💀

*2026-08-19*

This game was honestly a big part of my elementary and middle school years man, playing it during lunch was awesome so I was so happy to see it come back. But then they had to introduce the ticket system…can someone explain why I gotta wait 30 minutes to play ONE level that’s no longer than like five minutes at most. It’s classic mobile game practices and I hate it. Why didn’t they go back to monetizing the soup, have these costumes and stuff with you having to use bacon soups to get them or use money. We had a great system before but now it’s even worse. I seriously hope more people complain about this so they can have it removed but I can only hope. I’m giving it two stars because I got nostalgia for this game but PLEASE change the ticket system, me and probably many others beg you….

### 3/5 — Issues with Game Saving

*2026-08-22*

I made it through all of the “Bendy in Dewey Decimated” acts with all 3 check marks, and swiped out (but didn’t completely close) the app for a bit. 
When I came back, roughly 10 minutes or so later, I was prompted to log back in with Unity. Once I was logged back in, my progress for that whole chapter (acts 1-5) had been erased, and so had any upgrades i’d done in that play through. Now I’ve got to do it again, but my main concern is if it’s going to keep happening repeatedly?

On another note, monetizing the tickets is a low move. I don’t mind the tickets so the gameplay is more spaced out and less rushed (many games do similar systems), but you could monetize something else, like special skins, scenery, etc. instead.
Also, the move sets from each chapters’ antagonist should be more unique and should differentiate from the rest. They each essentially have the same attacks, and it’d be cooler to see the have their own set of attacks, or at least one or two moves that are different from the rest and match the character. The Soup has its own rolling move, and is a great example. I just wish the others would follow suit.

As someone who played this game years ago, I love to see it’s made its return.

### 3/5 — Bad movement

*2026-08-20*

The game looks cool but the POV and movement are awful. Why does pressing the throw button switch my lane??

### 3/5 — No audio when playing on iPad

*2026-08-19*

I have the game on both iPad and iPhone, but there’s no sound when playing on the iPad even when I have the volume turned all the way up.

### 3/5 — Amazing however

*2026-08-19*

I love the game, amazing. But the ticket system feels weird. Maybe increase the max tickets, maybe we could buy them with bacon soups, or just remove it. When you also throw at the minions it sometimes just goes through them? I could play the game hours on end. If it weren’t for the tickets. I am excited for the future of this game and I have been a long Bendy fan since a child. That’s all I have to say, cya.

### 4/5 — The GOAT returns… with a problem

*2026-08-28*

I used to play this game all the time back during its initial launch and the game is just as peak as it always was, there is just one simple problem, the ticket system. Initially there wasn’t a ticket system and I enjoyed that, I think there might have been lives, but if you were good enough you could keep playing until the bell rung. Now you have 6 runs before you have to either wait or spend irl money. Please get rid of this system and at least give us a life system, that’s all I need.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-28*

Game is fun but that ticket system has to go but aside from that it’s a great game

### 4/5 — This game takes me back!

*2026-08-26*

All my memories are flooding back,just wondering is it only me not seeing the option for watching ads.

*2026-08-30*

I love this game but I can’t hear audio and please remove the energy system, but besides from that the game is fun
(Pls add a retro mode that takes us back to a older version of this)

### 5/5 — Best game in the world

*2026-08-30*

I am glad this game returned I just don’t like the ticket system so many memories

### 5/5 — I absolutely LOVE IT

*2026-08-28*

Can you pls add a skin of bendy like the ink demon from bendy and the dark revival and if you add a Christmas event can you make 3 skins Christmas Boris Christmas Bendy and Christmas Alice Angle where they are wearing Christmas hats. The Christmas skins should cost 5K Bacon Soups and the ink demon should be like 30K Bacon Soups.Pls and Thank You.I love the game

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2026-08-26*

I have played this game ever since the original 2018 version and when jt got deleted in 2021 i was very sad but then i saw it was coming back this year i was so happy but the problem was i didnt know when so one day i was randomly on the app store checking on random stuff when suddenly bendy in nightmare came up and i was so happy i downloaded it immediately and started playing 24/7

### 5/5 — IT’S BACK 🎉

*2026-08-26*

I was so bummed when the original nightmare run was taken down so I ran to download this one as soon as I got the news it was back! So far it’s the same game before along with a ticket system I’m not a particular fan of, but it’s not all that tedious and you don’t have to wait very long for your tickets to replenish. I’m really exited for the model overhaul and can’t wait for new maps!

I am kinda annoyed that the permanent ‘double your bacon soup’ for 100,000 in the shop doesn’t seem to exist in this version and so I hope it gets brought back later 🙏  

(can’t wait for Bendy 3!)

### 5/5 — A game that's way better than most mobile games.

*2026-08-26*

Ahh, mobile games. You either love them or hate them. While there are great/amazing mobile games like among us, plants vs zombies 1 and 2, and sneaky sasquatch, there are not so good games such as royal match, raid shadow legends, and the overrated candy crush. But, what makes mobile games mobile games is runners. Basically, you run through obstacles and try to make it to the end. It gets boring and dull. But, this game isn't boring at all. Meet Bendy nightmare run. This game was shut down awhile back, but thanks to the bendy community, the game is back. And thank goodness it is. What you do in this game is run away from the boss and while doing so, you get objects such as skulls and axes and throw said objects at the boss. Not to mention, it has a leveling system and items you can upgrade so you can progress through the game faster. Things never got stale. And the enemies are a nice touch, as they can be obstacles that you need to get rid of by jumping or throwing swords at the enemy. Some can fly, some can jump very far, and some can headbutt you. It adds onto the games verity. Not to mention you can also get Boris and Alice so that you aren't alone. Overall, it's a better mobile game that has no ads and it deserves a worthy 8/10. The reason why it isn't a 10 is because it can get a little repetitive. But hopefully, the updates can fix it.

### 5/5 — Encontrei ele de novo….

*2026-08-25*

Eu jogava esse jogo a um tempo atrás e achava que tinha perdido,mas agora encontrei

### 5/5 — «Это было просто вау…»

*2026-08-25*

С возвращением, Легенда

### 5/5 — Amazing game is back

*2026-08-25*

This game is back and better then the older one only problems are the tickets and bugs.
One bug I keep getting often is in death and taxis when the taxi goes off screen and the minions come the cylinders that sometimes appear they’re sound keeps going on after that part till you die or finish the level and it’s pretty annoying to hear it out when I’m playing

### 5/5 — Please do this

*2026-08-25*

Please make it so if you click the hand button so it’s open the man becomes flat again and when it’s closed the map is curved
