Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This tactical turn-based strategy game introduces an exciting blend of extraction looting, reminiscent of a mix between "XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu." Dive into the announcement trailer and explore the first screenshots in the gallery below to get a glimpse of what's in store.

The narrative of Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate 19th-century America, following a mysterious event that has blurred the lines between reality and a terrifying unknown. This event has unleashed monsters known as Dreadweavers, creatures born from the darkest fears of humanity, emerging from the abysses of a terror dimension. As a player, you assume the role of the ringleader, navigating this nightmarish new world. Despite the overwhelming terror, you lead a group of scavengers into the heart of the city, risking everything in the pursuit of valuable loot.
