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 a thrilling blend of extraction looter mechanics, reminiscent of "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 awaits.

Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate 19th-century America, transformed by a mysterious event that blurs the lines between reality and horror. The aftermath has unleashed monstrous beings, dubbed Dreadweavers, which are the physical manifestations of humanity's deepest fears. As the player, you assume the role of a ringleader, navigating this terrifying new world. Despite the overwhelming terror, you lead a group of scavengers into the heart of the city, driven by the hope of uncovering the truth behind the Nightmare and the promise of valuable loot.
