Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has recently unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This intriguing game blends tactical turn-based strategy with elements of an extraction looter, promising a unique gaming experience that's been described as "XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu." The announcement trailer and a gallery of first screenshots are available for those eager to get a glimpse of what's in store.
The narrative of Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate 19th-century America, shortly following a mysterious event that has irrevocably altered the world. The fabric separating reality from a terrifying unknown has begun to unravel, compelling survivors to unravel the secrets of that fateful night and the essence of the so-called Nightmare. The city streets are now a hunting ground for monstrous entities known as Dreadweavers, born from the abyssal depths of a dimension of terror. These creatures manifest the deepest fears of humanity. Players assume the role of the ringleader, a figure who, against all odds, sees a glimmer of hope for survival in this nightmarish new reality. Guiding a band of scavengers, players delve deep into the city's heart, risking all in the pursuit of valuable loot.
