  • story53 mentions

    The game's story is generally considered solid but not groundbreaking, featuring a cast of six commando scientists battling Nazis and paranormal threats across ten missions. While the narrative is engaging and atmospheric, some players feel it lacks depth and suffers from pacing issues due to the limited number of missions. Overall, the story complements the tactical gameplay, but it may not be the main draw for players seeking a rich narrative experience.

    • “You lead the Enigma Squad—six commando scientists—against Nazis and paranormal threats in strategic, slow-paced missions.”
    • “Stylized, atmospheric, easy controls, interesting story.”
    • “The characters are charming and the cinematic mission briefing is really well done.”
    • “The game has its bugs, and it feels like it's trying to tell too big of a story in too few missions.”
    • “Obviously, story and characters come second to the gameplay, but the writing is afraid to take itself seriously.”
    • “Cons: only 10 missions and the first ones are like an introduction, suffers from the problem of 'do this area like this or you get stuck on it', gameplay loop is a bit broken since you abuse a few characters to just kill everyone, there is no 'non-lethal' option which seems weird in a stealth game, some character designs or skills are bad.”
  • gameplay43 mentions

    The gameplay of "Sumerian Six" is characterized by a blend of familiar mechanics from mimimi games, enhanced with new character abilities and tactical elements that create a fun and engaging experience. While the game features solid map design and a captivating presentation, it lacks some depth in mechanics, such as environmental interactions and stealth options, which may disappoint genre veterans. Overall, it offers a satisfying gameplay loop that balances creativity and challenge, making it accessible for newcomers while still appealing to fans of tactical stealth games.

    • “Gameplay is tight, fun, and engaging.”

    • “The only annoying bug I encountered during gameplay was small freezes when triggering alarms or being killed by certain enemies.”
    • “Devs copied mimimi's visual style but for some reason decided to implement only the bare minimum mechanics (no footsteps sounds on any surface, no footprints, no dark/light difference in vision cones, no swimming, etc.).”

  • music15 mentions

    • “The only criticism I have is the music, which didn't fit the setting, in my opinion.”
