Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has unveiled Nightmare Frontier—a gripping new tactical turn-based strategy game that blends intense extraction looter mechanics with cosmic horror. Picture XCOM colliding with Hunt: Showdown, spiced up with a haunting dose of Lovecraftian dread. Watch the announcement trailer above and explore the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Set in an alternate 19th-century America, Nightmare Frontier unfolds in the aftermath of a catastrophic event that shattered the boundaries between reality and a terrifying, otherworldly dimension. From the shadows emerge the Dreadweavers—monstrous manifestations of humanity’s deepest fears—flooding the streets and plunging civilization into chaos. As the ringleader of a desperate band of survivors, you must navigate this crumbling world, leading a group of scavengers into the heart of the infested city. Every mission is a high-stakes gamble: face unspeakable horrors, uncover the truth behind the Nightmare, and seize valuable loot at great personal risk.
