Ice Code Games, the folks behind quirky games like Hard West 2 and Rogue Waters, they’ve got this wild knack for mixing up tactical combat with strange, historical settings. It’s like they’ve cooked up some weird stew—think haunted 19th-century American West in Hard West, dealing with demons and whatnot. And then there’s Rogue Waters, with pirates battling sea monsters. Now they’re throwing another curveball with Nightmare Frontier. Imagine if Hunt Showdown and XCOM 2 had a weird, slightly creepy baby.
So get this—Nightmare Frontier kinda looks like it shares DNA with Hard West. Set in the chaotic American West again, but it’s not just rehashing old stories. It’s going on a different road, swirling in a risk-reward theme. Not what you’d call your usual walkthrough, huh?
You’re tossed into this dusty town, leading a band of down-on-their-luck scavengers. Your job? Scavenge for goodies while dodging savage beasts named Dreadweavers. Feels a bit like Hunt Showdown, where you’ve got to figure out how long you can stomach the chaos before cashing out. Survive enough, grab more rewards—but hang around too long, and poof! Everything might go up in smoke. And hey, when you’re not battling, you’re neck-deep in crafting and upgrading stuff with whatever bits and bobs you’ve grabbed along the way. Prepping for the next showdown, you know?
Oh, and by the way, they’re dropping the game into Early Access on Steam this summer. Sounds like a good time to wishlist it—or maybe just peek at the Steam page and see if it tickles your fancy.
Until then, while twiddling thumbs waiting for Nightmare Frontier, why not dig into some of the top horror and action-adventure games already lurking on your PC? Keeps the chills going, right?
