Supernatural Tactical Extraction Shooter ‘Nightmare Frontier’ Comes to Steam This Summer [Trailer]

Fans of XCOM and Hunt: Showdown 1896 will have a new treat later this year with Ice Code Games’ Nightmare Frontier.  Part tactical turn-based strategy game, part extraction looter, Nightmare Frontier will even be throwing in “a dash of Cthulhu” to its gameplay. The game will hit Early Access on Steam in Q2 2025.

Taking place in an alternative 1900s, you and your band of scavengers venture into to reclaim a devastated former boom town. Standing in your way are the Dreadweavers, monsters born from your team’s darkest fears. As a result, you’ll need to overcome your dread and make these monsters eat lead.

As mentioned, Nightmare Frontiers makes use of XCOM-style tactics, where you’ll be using trick shots to push monsters back, while countering and combining attacks. As you push forward, you’ll also be increasing what’s referred to as the Nightmare Level that increases the danger for you and your team. Pushing your luck and the danger will maximizing the amount and quality of loot you can grab from the game’s limitless raids, so plan accordingly.

In addition, you’ll also be harvesting materials from defeated nightmares to craft and enhance your weapons, which melds early 1900s technology with supernatural alchemy. You’ll also be investing in upgrades and abilities for your crew, and even bringing on some rescued souls into the group. Just know that their weaknesses will be exploited by the Dreadweavers.
