Sumerian Six Reviews
Like I mentioned this one was not on my radar, no pun intended, and I was pleasantly surprised. A few glitches with the enemies soured the experience a little but not enough for me to not recommend the game still. Even as someone who doesn't gravitate to stealth games, this one was successful in integrating a system simple enough to pick up and swap between characters easily and make you feel satisfied clearing an area whether by yourself or through an automated, planned team effort. It has a thorough save system to boot which absolutely helped make the game more enjoyable with my trial and error. For sure, I recommend it as a really solid game.
Sumerian Six is perfect for short bursts of play, but it’s not a game you'll likely want to binge. It boasts solid visuals, a great soundtrack, and a meticulously designed gameplay loop centered on synergy and strategy. However, with so much to tackle in each mission, you might find yourself fatigued long before reaching the end of its somewhat meandering story—assuming you don’t get soft-locked along the way.
Sumerian Six, with its blend of classic controls and innovative mechanics, offers one of the most exciting and engaging isometric stealth experiences. The complex level design, various challenges, and dynamic environments force you to think and make choices.
Sumerian Six blends stealth-tactics gameplay with creative abilities and detailed level design. Its story and cutscenes may fall short, but the challenging missions and unique character abilities make it a rewarding experience. Fans of Shadow Tactics and Desperados III will find this a strong addition to the genre.
Sumerian Six easily manages to stand out among the various titles of its genre, offering a perfect combination of tactics, well-developed characters and a totally captivating story.

While it does little that is genuinely new, and exists firmly in the shadow of its forebears, Sumerian Six is a thoroughly competent addition to the small canon of real-time stealth tactics games. It is a must-play for any fan of the genre. While Artificer were sadly subjected to job losses this year by their owner-publishers Devolver, hopefully they will have the chance to make an even stronger contribution to stealth tactics in the future.
With some extremely highs, but also very lows, “Sumerian Six” carries on the spirit of the stealth genre left by Mimimi Productions. Although a bit too easy sometimes, it has enough charm and beautiful vistas for you to experiment with crazy tactics, and, of course, punch nazis.

"Artificer’s Sumerian Six is a standout in the strategy game genre, offering a challenging and unique experience with quirky characters and a storyline that blends history and folklore. While the game starts off tough and requires players to master the basics and adjust keybindings, it soon allows for creative strategy through character abilities in real-time action, complemented by a planning function that could use some fine-tuning. The well-designed levels and optional challenges provide a detailed and customizable experience for players seeking varying levels of difficulty."

Sumerian Six has some specific problems, but it is far from being a flawed project. The choice of locations and themes is very engaging and there is nothing better than having Nazis to be destroyed during the adventure. The lack of enemy diversity could be a problem, but for me, the more Nazis killed, the better. The combination of tactical combat with stealth elements reminiscent of the beloved Shadow Tactics is a great gameplay choice, and the direction that Artificer chose to make the player's life more difficult as their powers increase is the icing on the cake for a challenging and fun experience.

Sumerian Six is an excellent strategy stealth title with creative combat kits, a solid story, and excellent gameplay.
Sumerian Six is immensely replayable, both as a whole game and individual levels. The game is not as an impeccable as the games it was so clearly inspired by, but it is very good at what it does. I did find Sumerian Six to be a little easy, even on its hardest skill setting. That said, this is a game that’s very approachable and accessible, and could be someone’s first game in the genre to acquainted. Artificer is keeping the real-time tactics genre alive with Sumerian Six, an enjoyable romp as it delves into the occult and science, and of course killing Nazi’s never gets old.
