Ice Code Games, known for Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has revealed Nightmare Frontier, a tactical turn-based strategy game blended with extraction looter elements. It combines XCOM’s strategic depth, Hunt: Showdown’s tension, and a touch of Cthulhu-inspired horror. Watch the announcement trailer above and explore the first screenshots in the gallery below.
The developers outline Nightmare Frontier’s premise: "Set in an alternate 19th-century America, the game follows a cataclysmic event that reshaped reality. The boundary between the real world and a terrifying unknown blurs, leaving survivors to unravel the mystery of that fateful night and the enigmatic Nightmare. Monstrous Dreadweavers, born from humanity’s deepest fears, flood the streets from a dark, otherworldly dimension. Players assume the role of a fearless leader guiding scavengers through a perilous city, braving unimaginable horrors to scavenge valuable loot."
Nightmare Frontier blends turn-based "gun-n-slash" combat with dynamic horror mechanics, a compelling risk-reward system, and coveted loot. Add Nightmare Frontier to your Steam wishlist to stay updated.
