Bryan here. So far, what i have played:

Nightmarish Onslaught: Manageable. Just make sure you take care of nests near the two sides when the time counts down to a minute or something. Destroy boxes in middle area ASAP so you have more places to run to.

Nightmarish Vaccine: Difficult. True, you can run straight to the extraction plane and ignore the boss on the train platform or final area, but final area is also clustered with dozens of really tough zombies. The lab is too small for maneuvering, the train ride is hell, and the main point is the boss, so...

Nightmarish Survivors: Medium. There is no need to rescue any survivors, so what you have to do is make sure you don't engage more zombies than you can take down, and it will be fine. Take care of all zombies before going to the upper-middle area, where bosses spawn, and you will have the largest boss zone ever. Remember to take care of nest on the far right in the Final boss area, and don't get ambushed by zombies just spawning out of walls. Final boss area is easily the smallest so be careful of being cornered.

Nightmarish Power Out: Medium-difficult. Just play safe and proceed slowly. Do not play kamikaze tactics as you normally would in normal mode. Do not rush to the switch in the lower and lower-right corridor. Turrets are difficult to defeat but can be taken down with a bit of circling or tanking. Keep an eye on where you are going and don't get cornered. Similar to Survivors but in a more cramped map.

Nightmarish Last Stand: Easy (as far as easy can get in Nightmarish). Clear all pods and nests before beginning to defend. Deploy Cyro turrets and keep firing, and the level will be defeated. Since it does not proceed to the next wave when middle boss spawns, it is the same as engaging the last boss. Clear and simple.

Nightmarish Pods:  Unconquerable.
