Alright, so there’s this game studio called Ice Code Games. They’ve got this quirky thing they do, mixing up tactical gameplay with some spooky, historical twists. Think cowboys and demons—sounds wild, right? Their past creations like Hard West 2 and Rogue Waters had us battling fiendish beasts in the Old West and taking on sea monsters as pirates. Quite the mashup!
Now, they’ve come up with this fresh brew called Nightmare Frontier. Sounds intense, huh? At first, you might mistake it for a long-lost cousin of Hard West, mostly ’cause it’s all about strategy and creepy vibes in the American West again. Monsters lurking around, as usual. But here’s the twist—there’s this risky gamble vibe going on. Risk big, win bigger—or bite the dust trying.
You’re in charge of a ragtag bunch of scavengers. They’re on this nerve-wracking mission to snatch loot while dodging these creepy-crawlies called Dreadweavers. So, it’s a bit like Hunt Showdown meets XCOM 2. You dive into this town, grab what you can, fight off these horrors, and then—you decide. Do you stick around, risking your neck for more rewards, or do you high-tail it outta there before everything goes south? In between these nail-biting battles, you’re all about crafting and leveling up your gear. Gotta be ready for the next showdown, right?
Oh, and hey, if you’re curious—there’s a sneak peek video out on YouTube, worth a gander if you’re into visual teasers.
Here’s the kicker—Nightmare Frontier’s gonna pop up on Steam’s Early Access this summer. Whether or not you’ll add it to your wishlist? Your call. Find more deets over on Steam if you’re intrigued.
