Developer Ice Code Games, the creative minds behind Hard West II and Rogue Waters, have just unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This thrilling tactical turn-based strategy game also incorporates elements of an extraction looter, promising an experience that blends the strategic depth of XCOM with the tense atmosphere of Hunt: Showdown, all while adding a chilling touch of Cthulhu. Dive into the announcement trailer and explore the first screenshots in our gallery to get a glimpse of what awaits.

Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate version of 19th-century America, following a mysterious event that has blurred the lines between reality and a terrifying unknown. The world is now plagued by monsters known as Dreadweavers, creatures born from the darkest fears of humanity and emerging from the abysses of a terror dimension. As players, you step into the role of the ringleader, a survivor who leads a group of scavengers into the heart of the city. Facing overwhelming terror, your mission is to uncover the truth behind the Nightmare and search for valuable loot amidst the chaos.
