Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has just unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This game blends tactical turn-based strategy with an extraction looter mechanic, creating an experience that can be described as "XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu." Be sure to watch the announcement trailer and explore the first screenshots in the gallery below to get a glimpse of what's in store.
Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate 19th-century America, following a mysterious event that blurred the lines between reality and a terrifying otherworld. In this altered reality, monstrous beings known as Dreadweavers, born from the darkest fears of humanity, roam the streets. As the ringleader of a group of scavengers, players must navigate this nightmarish landscape, venturing deep into the city to uncover the truth behind the event and the Nightmare itself, all while scavenging for valuable loot that could mean the difference between survival and oblivion.
