Step into the unsettling world of Nightmare Frontier, a unique tactical extraction looter developed and published by Ice Code Games. Set in an alternative 1900s America, where a once-thriving boom town has devolved into a nightmarish landscape, players lead a band of scavengers.

Their mission is to venture into this devastated 'American Dream turned American Nightmare' to reclaim what was lost, facing fears made manifest in the form of Dreadweavers.

The core gameplay revolves around a fresh take on tactical combat. Players will engage enemies from a distance, chaining trick shots and overcoming dread to gain an advantage.

When the situation calls for it, they can dive into the fray, pushing, countering, and combining attacks to turn the tide. This blend of ranged precision and close-quarters tactical maneuvering forms the heart of the combat system.

Nightmare Frontier offers a compelling roguelite experience, where each expedition into the city presents new challenges and opportunities. The supernatural elements are not just thematic; they are woven into the gameplay, offering 'supernatural' opportunities for those brave enough to seize them.

The city itself is dynamic, promising a world that will never be the same after your incursions.
