The story of Sumerian Six is generally described as straightforward and familiar, blending WWII themes with sci-fi and mystical elements in a somewhat Indiana Jones-style narrative. While many find the plot engaging enough to support the tactical gameplay and appreciate character abilities and atmosphere, it is often considered cheesy, rushed, or mediocre, with some reviewers noting unlikable characters and minimal narrative depth. Overall, the story serves its purpose but is not the main attraction, with gameplay and level design taking priority.
“About 20 fun hours with a very Indiana Jones story.”
“Thanks to its well-paced storytelling and character introductions, the experience remains fresh throughout those 20 hours.”
“The characters are amazing (the six team members), the story is a crazy 2nd world war sci-fi/Lovecraftian dystopia, with a cool rock/blues-y music theme that got me from the beginning.”
“Don't hope for the story and dialogs to save it; it alternates between actively bad and simply boring.”
“The characters are not very likable; the story so far is not very good.”
“Not only is the story and the storytelling meh, the game is buggy as hell!”
