Ice Code Games has been doing its own thing, blending crazy tactical fights with spooky history vibes. So, they’ve got Hard West 2 and Rogue Waters under their belt. Hard West? It’s your classic cowboy-era America but sprinkled with some demonic baddies. And Rogue Waters? We’re talking pirates but with monsters. Who knew, right? Anyway, now they’re mixing things up again with a new game that’s like Hunt Showdown met XCOM 2 at a party and decided to make a game baby—Nightmare Frontier.
Okay, so at first glance, you might swear Nightmare Frontier is like Hard West’s long-lost cousin. Same old, same old—American West setting, monsters running amok. But hang on a minute… it’s not just a copy-paste job. This one’s shaking things up with some intentionally risky gameplay. It’s kinda like they took Hard West’s core and gave it a spicy new twist.
Picture this: in Nightmare Frontier, you’re not just any random cowboy. Nope, you’re a down-and-out scavenger team, scraping together whatever loot you can in this creepy town with creatures called Dreadweavers on your tail. So you’ve got this choice—keep fighting to pocket more rewards, or bail and risk everything gone to dust. Reminds me of those games like Hunt Showdown where you balance danger with the loot haul. Plus, when you aren’t fighting off these creepers, you’re tinkering. Crafting, upgrading—basically, gearing up to dive back into the mess.
Oh, and in case you’re counting down the days, Nightmare Frontier’s sneaking into Early Access on Steam this summer. I’m probably gonna slam that ‘Wishlist’ button myself, just out of curiosity. More deets on its Steam page if you’re into that sort of deep dive.
And hey, while you’re itching for its launch, maybe check out the top horror or action-adventure games already chilling out on PC. Just saying. Oh, and if you’re the chatty type, pop into our community Discord, swap tales, or gab about this new game and others—it’s like a gamers’ hangout hub.
