  • story58 mentions

    The story of the game is generally considered decent but not groundbreaking, with some reviewers noting its convoluted nature and lack of originality. While it effectively supports the gameplay, which is the main highlight, the narrative feels stretched across a limited number of missions, leading to a sense of underdevelopment in character arcs and plot depth. Overall, the engaging characters and atmospheric presentation contribute positively, but the writing could benefit from more tension and seriousness.

    • “The story is excellent and the gameplay mechanics are fantastic - it's a lot of fun!”
    • “Very fun and creative gameplay, high-quality visuals via UE5, excellent soundtrack and sound effects, and an engaging story.”
    • “The characters are charming and the cinematic mission briefing is really well done.”
    • “While the story is basic, it does an okay job at keeping the enigma squad on target.”
    • “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.”
  • gameplay48 mentions

    The gameplay of "Sumerian Six" is praised for its engaging mechanics and fun tactical elements, drawing heavily from the successful designs of previous mimimi titles like "Shadow Tactics" and "Desperados 3." While it introduces new characters and abilities, some players note a lack of depth in environmental interactions and mechanics, such as the absence of sound cues and visibility changes. Overall, the game offers a satisfying experience for both veterans and newcomers to the stealth strategy genre, despite some minor bugs and limitations in mission variety.

    • “The story is excellent and the gameplay mechanics are fantastic - it's a lot of fun!”
    • “Very fun and creative gameplay, high quality visuals via UE5, excellent soundtrack and SFX, and an engaging story.”
    • “Gameplay is tight, fun, and engaging.”
    • “The gameplay design is very similar because it was directly handed down from Mimimi games, which unfortunately had to shut down.”
    • “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.).”
    • “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.”
  • music16 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising the engaging soundtracks and high-quality sound effects that enhance the overall experience. However, some players report issues such as bugs causing music to overlap or stop entirely, as well as a few instances where the music doesn't fit the game's setting. Overall, while the soundtrack is generally well-received, technical problems and occasional repetitiveness detract from its impact.

    • “Very fun and creative gameplay, high quality visuals via UE5, excellent soundtrack and SFX, and an engaging story.”
    • “It's gorgeous to look at, has a nice nearly upbeat soundtrack, and is even somewhat playful in its over-the-top nature.”
    • “The music is delightful too - actually kept that on this time.”
    • “The only criticism I have is the music, which didn't fit the setting, in my opinion.”
    • “There are background music-related bugs: on one level, it feels like there are two tracks playing at the same time; sometimes it gets unreasonably loud or quiet, and on some levels, the music just gives up and stops completely for the rest of the map.”
    • “The music and ambient sound have clicking, chirping, and stuttering in them, which is a huge annoyance since music and sound play a critical role for immersion.”
  • graphics13 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their high quality, vibrant visuals, and beautiful level design, particularly utilizing Unreal Engine 5. However, some users noted occasional graphical glitches, performance issues, and a controversial aesthetic choice regarding the portrayal of certain themes. Overall, the visuals contribute to an engaging and immersive experience, though some players experienced performance drops that could be mitigated with adjustments.

    • “The game's vibrant and stylized visuals create a visually appealing world that is both enchanting and immersive.”
    • “Map design and art style are beautiful and unobtrusive in gameplay.”
    • “So far, I didn't encounter a single bug yet and the game runs tremendously well on my machine: on 4K and high graphic settings, I hit 60fps every second.”
    • “The only minor thing I can complain about here is the occasional graphical and animation glitches in our team.”
    • “The game has a few performance issues that lead to high GPU and CPU utilization, as well as FPS drops; most of those issues can be fixed by capping the FPS and forcing V-Sync both in-game and in the graphics card settings.”
    • “Most shortcuts and even the art style are basically the same.”
  • optimization12 mentions

    The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it generally runs smoothly without stuttering, players report significant performance issues, including high CPU and GPU utilization, occasional fatal errors, and glitches that can disrupt gameplay. Some users have found that capping the FPS and enabling V-Sync can alleviate some of these problems, but overall, the game demands more from hardware than expected, particularly on platforms like the Steam Deck. Despite these issues, many still enjoy the game, especially if they are fans of the developer's previous titles.

    • “In general, the game runs smoothly, but I had quite a few fatal errors that sometimes depended on whimsical reasons.”
    • “Although the game runs smoothly, with no stuttering, it's unreasonably demanding on the hardware.”
    • “The game has a few performance issues that lead to high GPU and CPU utilization, as well as FPS drops; most of those issues can be fixed by capping the FPS and forcing V-Sync both in-game and in the graphics card settings.”
    • “Optimization could use a little work; I started experiencing slowdowns during long play sessions, but I just had to close and re-open the game every once in a while.”
    • “It's a very high-quality game that you would even mistake for Mimimi games as the devs. However, it does have weird performance issues and bugs that can severely hinder your progress.”
    • “The game has a few performance issues that lead to high GPU and CPU utilization, as well as FPS drops; most of those issues can be fixed by capping the FPS and forcing V-Sync both in-game and in the graphics card settings.”

    • “The only annoying bug I encountered during gameplay was small freezes when triggering alarms or being killed by certain enemies.”
    • “Although the performance is not the best and there are occasional glitches, still, if you've enjoyed the Mimimi games, you'll definitely have a blast with this one.”
  • replayability7 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while it offers some optional challenges and the ability to replay chapters, these features are limited in scope and diversity. However, the presence of a diverse cast of characters with unique abilities provides opportunities for varied gameplay approaches, enhancing replay value for some players.

    • “It has a bit of replayability by allowing you to choose which chapter to replay, which saves on time.”
    • “Replayability is high, with many different approaches, tactics, and achievements available.”
    • “The diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique abilities, adds depth and replayability to the experience.”
    • “Optional challenges are severely limited in scope and diversity, which hurts replayability.”
    • “Replayability: while there are a few challenges to add replayability, they are very bare bones compared to Mimimi games, and especially Shadow Gambit.”
    • “It has a bit of replayability by allowing you to choose which chapter to replay, which saves on time.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is primarily derived from the witty banter between characters, which adds personality and charm, while a few progression-based tasks incorporate unusual or humorous elements. Players appreciate the funny phrases and character interactions, with some references that fans of mimimi will recognize.

    • “Characters also have funny banter that oozes personality.”
    • “There are funny characters and phrases throughout the game (you will even recognize some phrases from Mimimi characters, lol).”
    • “Almost all of them are progression-based; only a couple require you to do something unusual or funny with your skills.”
  • character development3 mentions

    Character development in the game is visually appealing, with strong character design and voice acting, particularly in the early stages. However, the limited number of missions and a gameplay loop that encourages repetitive character use detracts from the overall experience, while the absence of non-lethal options in a stealth context feels like a missed opportunity. Additionally, some character skills and designs are criticized for being subpar.

    • “The character design is interesting, although in this type of game, we don't get to admire them up close very often.”
    • “Pros: The game looks great, the voice acting and character design are good (in the first 2 hours). The story is engaging, involving a well-dressed evil army that likes eagle symbols. The characters have skills that gain experience, and when leveled up, they become more efficient.”
    • “The characters have skills that gain experience, and when leveled up, they are more efficient.”
    • “The game has only 10 missions, and the first ones feel like mere introductions. It suffers from the issue of forcing players to approach areas in a specific way, or they get stuck. The gameplay loop feels broken as you can easily exploit a few characters to eliminate enemies, and the lack of a 'non-lethal' option is puzzling for a stealth game. Additionally, some character designs and skills are poorly executed.”
    • “Character development is severely lacking, with only a handful of missions that don't allow for meaningful growth or exploration of abilities. The gameplay encourages repetitive strategies that diminish the potential for diverse character interactions.”
    • “The limited number of missions and the rigid gameplay mechanics make character development feel shallow. Players are often left with uninteresting choices and poorly designed skills that don't enhance the overall experience.”
  • atmosphere2 mentions

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its stylized visuals and engaging story, complemented by excellent voice acting and music. Players find the controls intuitive, enhancing the overall immersive experience. Overall, the atmosphere effectively aligns with the game's style, creating a captivating environment.

    • “Just getting started, but so far the atmosphere, gameplay, and UI are all on point for this style of game. The voice acting and music are excellent, by the way.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    Users express confusion over the lack of advertising for the game's monetization model on Steam, suggesting that greater visibility could enhance understanding and engagement with the game's financial aspects.
