Turn-Based Horror on Steam Deck? Nightmare Frontier Review

Nightmare Frontier is a turn-based extraction strategy game where you lead a squad into nightmare-infested zones, gather loot, and escape – or die trying. I tested it on the Steam Deck to find the best settings for performance, visuals, and battery life. Here’s what worked, what didn’t, and whether it’s worth playing handheld.
