So, Ice Code Games — you know, those folks behind Hard West 2 and Rogue Waters, remember? — they’ve carved out this quirky little corner in the gaming world. It’s all about jamming tactical combat with supernatural stuff in historical settings. Hard West, both the original and the sequel, threw us into this crazy 19th-century Wild West where demons are just hanging out like it’s no big deal. Rogue Waters? Picture pirate shenanigans with a splash of sea monsters. And now? Drum roll, please… they’re diving into something new called Nightmare Frontier. It’s like if Hunt Showdown and XCOM 2 had a wild, unplanned baby.
Okay, so Nightmare Frontier — it feels like it wants to carry the Hard West vibe forward, right? But then it veers off into its own crazy lane. Yeah, you’ve got the usual American West showdown with monsters, but here’s the twist. There’s this whole risk-reward angle that just shakes things up. You’re controlling this ragtag bunch of scavengers on a mission — you know, snatching loot in a town that’s basically monster party central, thanks to these uglies called Dreadweavers. And here’s the kicker: it’s like a game of chicken. Do you stay and rake in more goodies as the danger meter goes through the roof, or do you bail before losing everything? Meanwhile, crafting and gearing up? That’s your downtime hustle — you’re basically in a never-ending prep loop before the next monster bash.
Side note, if that’s your thing, then you might wanna keep tabs on Nightmare Frontier. It’s dropping on Steam Early Access this summer. Maybe wishlist it, yeah? Or just go down the rabbit hole on its Steam page.
