Developer Ice Code Games, renowned for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has unveiled their latest project: Nightmare Frontier. This tactical turn-based strategy game, described as a blend of "XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu," promises to be an engaging extraction looter. Dive into the announcement trailer above and explore the first screenshots showcased in the gallery below.
Set in an alternate version of 19th-century America, the narrative of Nightmare Frontier begins shortly after a mysterious event that has irrevocably altered reality. The once-clear boundary between the tangible world and a terrifying unknown has blurred, leaving survivors to unravel the secrets of that fateful night and the enigmatic Nightmare. The city streets are now teeming with monstrous entities known as Dreadweavers, born from the dark abysses of a terror dimension. These creatures are the physical manifestations of humanity's deepest fears. Players assume the role of the ringleader, who, despite the overwhelming dread, sees a glimmer of hope for survival. Leading a band of scavengers, they delve deep into the urban ruins, risking everything in their quest for valuable loot.
