Short but sweet. I could not get invested in the Shadow Gambit Chars and Story.
This, immediately captivated me. A few nice QoL improvements comparied to Desperados 3, but otherwise pretty much D3 with a different story,
Wojtek even has Hector's voice and skills.

Had it for a while - finally played was REALLY impressed! The setting seemed a bit outlandish at first (to me at least: context of WWII and "super powers") but the gameplay is polished & thought through, as is level design and voice acting - and I really liked the soundtrack. It also ran very well for me apart from switching between characters not always working initially (perhaps I was just a bit too clumsy though). Well done, developers!

精致，无论是玩法、画风、音乐、设定颇有mimimi遗风。缺点：跑步没有脚步声；紧贴敌人背后走过都不会被发现；角色之间的模型会相互阻挡；自动寻路无法跳跃、攀爬；有时候按数字换角色会没有反应。

Sumerian Six is a tactical stealth strategy game developed by Artificer and published by Devolver Digital. The game draws strong inspiration from classic real-time tactics titles such as the Commandos series, reviving a genre built around careful planning, stealth, and coordinated team abilities. However, Sumerian Six distinguishes itself through an unusual mix of pulp science fiction, occult experimentation, and World War II espionage. Instead of focusing purely on historical warfare, the game embraces an alternate-history narrative where strange technologies and supernatural discoveries threaten to alter the course of the war.

The story follows a group known as the Enigma Squad, a team of scientists recruited into a secret Allied operation tasked with preventing a dangerous breakthrough by the Axis powers. These operatives are not traditional soldiers but brilliant minds whose scientific discoveries translate into unusual tactical abilities in the field. Their main adversary is a former colleague who has defected to the enemy side and begun experimenting with a mysterious substance known as Geiststoff. This strange material appears to possess supernatural properties capable of amplifying technology beyond normal limits. As the squad attempts to stop these experiments, the story evolves into a global mission involving secret laboratories, ancient relics, and increasingly dangerous weapons that blur the boundary between science and mysticism.

Gameplay takes place from an isometric perspective, with each mission designed as a carefully structured stealth puzzle. Enemy soldiers patrol environments with defined vision cones, forcing players to remain hidden behind cover, move through shadows, and plan their actions precisely. Rushing into combat is rarely a viable option, as the game strongly rewards patience and strategic thinking. Instead, players observe patrol patterns, identify weak points in enemy defenses, and coordinate their squad members to quietly eliminate threats one by one. Each successful infiltration feels like solving a complex tactical puzzle where timing and positioning matter as much as raw skill.

A defining feature of the game is its squad-based system. Every member of the Enigma Squad has unique abilities shaped by their scientific expertise. Some characters rely on experimental gadgets capable of distracting or incapacitating enemies, while others wield unusual technologies that manipulate perception or temporarily disable foes. Certain characters excel at stealth takedowns, while others specialize in crowd control or battlefield manipulation. The challenge comes from combining these abilities creatively to overcome increasingly complex enemy formations. Players often need to execute synchronized actions where multiple characters perform tasks simultaneously, creating moments where precise coordination leads to satisfying strategic victories.

The level design plays a major role in making these tactical possibilities interesting. Each environment is constructed with multiple layers of routes, hiding places, and interactive elements. Players might sabotage machinery to create distractions, lure guards away from their posts, or use environmental hazards to eliminate enemies silently. Missions are rarely solved in only one way, encouraging experimentation with different strategies. Some players may prefer careful infiltration that leaves enemies unaware, while others might orchestrate elaborate chain reactions using environmental traps and character abilities.

Visually, the game adopts a stylized art direction that emphasizes readability and atmosphere rather than hyper-realistic detail. Environments range from fortified military bases to remote villages and hidden research facilities scattered across war-torn regions. Lighting and shadow play an important role in the stealth mechanics, clearly indicating safe areas where players can remain unseen. The character designs reflect the eccentric personalities of the Enigma Squad, giving each member a distinctive visual identity that reinforces their role within the team.

The narrative tone balances serious wartime stakes with moments of pulpy adventure. The premise of scientists turned covert operatives allows for creative storytelling that mixes espionage with strange scientific experiments and ancient mysteries. Dialogue between squad members provides occasional humor and character development, preventing the game from becoming overly grim despite its wartime setting. This blend of intrigue, mystery, and lighthearted banter gives the story a distinctive flavor compared to more historically grounded strategy games.

The pacing of Sumerian Six benefits greatly from its mission-based structure. Each level functions almost like a self-contained strategic challenge where players analyze the situation, attempt a plan, and refine their approach through trial and error. The game supports frequent saving and loading, which encourages experimentation without punishing players too harshly for mistakes. This design makes the experience accessible to newcomers while still providing enough complexity to satisfy veterans of the real-time tactics genre.

Despite its strengths, the game may not appeal to everyone. The deliberate pace of stealth gameplay requires patience, and players who prefer fast action or large-scale battles may find the slower, puzzle-like approach less exciting. Additionally, some missions can become quite challenging if a small mistake triggers alarms that summon overwhelming enemy reinforcements. While this tension is part of the intended challenge, it may occasionally lead to frustration during particularly complex scenarios.

Even with these minor issues, Sumerian Six stands as a strong modern entry in the real-time tactics genre. Its combination of thoughtful level design, distinctive characters, and imaginative storytelling creates an experience that rewards strategic thinking and creativity. By blending stealth mechanics with a unique alternate-history narrative, the game successfully revitalizes a genre that had remained relatively niche in recent years.

For players who enjoy tactical planning, stealth-based gameplay, and squad coordination, Sumerian Six offers a compelling and rewarding campaign filled with clever challenges and memorable moments. It captures the spirit of classic strategy games while introducing its own imaginative twist through science fiction and occult elements, making it both a respectful homage to its inspirations and a distinctive experience in its own right.

В двух словах: Это тактический стелс в реальном времени (как Commandos или Desperados 3), но с безумным уклоном в науку и магию. Вы — команда ученых-диверсантов, которые сражаются с нацистами, используя не только автоматы, но и адские химические установки, оборотня и подобное.

Кому точно зайдет, а кому — нет
✅ Купить, если:

Вы фанат жанра «тактика в реальном времени» (Commandos, Desperados, Shadow Tactics).

Вы любите прорабатывать план «идеального проникновения», переигрывать ситуацию по 10 раз, пока не получится «чисто».
Вы цените черный юмор и абсурд. Сюжет здесь — как хороший комикс про Гитлера и оккультизм.
❌ Не покупать, если:
Вам нужен суперсерьезный исторический сюжет.
Вы терпеть не можете метод проб и ошибок (пересохраняться придется часто).

Плюсы и минусы
+ Уникальная атмосфера: Смесь нацизма, магии и науки выглядит свежо. Очень стильно.
+ Разнообразие способностей: Герои реально разные.
+ Тактическая глубина: Можно пройти уровень десятком способов. Карты спроектированы отлично — много вертикалей, лазеек и секретов.

- ИИ противника: Местами подтупливает, но в целом терпимо.
- Сложность тут для новичков. Другие игры сложнее.

Итоговый вердикт
Если вы скучали по временам Commandos и хотите чего-то такого же умного, но с безумным сеттингом (оккультные нацисты, оборотни и химическое оружие) — Sumerian Six ваш идеальный кандидат.

Very good game, it understand the genre, while Mimimi's last game was bloated (you played the same maps over and over), and had very OP characters here the character are strong, but each map a puzzle to be solved, in a good amount of game play (first playthroug on hard, 16 hours). Truly a gem of the genre.

Keep Stealth Strategy alive.

This is a really good first attempt. It's not at the level of Mimimi's games. But, there is so much potential. The character abilities are fun. I like the style in which the story is told. The mission design got better near the end of the game.

But, I did have a few issues. The game would crash a few times, when using Seigfried Zone of invisibility. A decent amount of objectives felt like they were there to artificially extend level duration. I would have loved more civilian zones like in Desperados 3.

Clear recommendation. It plays exactly like the Mimimi classics. I even find it a lot more fun than Shadow Gambit. It's a smaller game, and that's good because everything feels exactly right: no useless "bantering", no painful repeats of the same level but with different characters, etc.

The story is okay for such a game (about the same level as Desperados III).

Some smaller features are missing, like light-dependent view cones, traces in sand/snow. That would be great additions to a Sumerian Six 2, maybe?

A fun stealth tactics game where you come up with increasingly clever, violent, and ridiculous ways to kill nazis. Most of the game involves displacing, stunning, and killing multiple enemies at once to not get spotted. I liked the characters, but the overall story was only okay in my opinion.

I had a few gripes with game crashes and awkward controls, but it's pretty generous with the autosaves so I never lost too much progress.

Absoluter Pflichtkauf für Fans von Stealth-Tactics!
Wer Spiele, wie "Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun", "Desperados III" oder "Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew" mochte, wird auch dieses Spiel lieben!

如果你是mimimi铁粉，无脑冲就完事了。

本作手感和画风与mi非常接近，技能设计我感觉比mi设计的有趣，强度也没有很超模。图比mi的作品都要大很多，同一关里超多小场景，解法非常多样，玩得非常过瘾。

RTT这个品类本来就很难创新，也比较难赚钱，值得给这些坚持RTT的工作室一些鼓励和肯定。本作已经是非常优秀的作品了。

It is a good game if you like Commandos or Desperados and the newer Mimimi Games. I think someone from the closed Mimimi studio worked on this. If I have an issue is that they force you to kill most people and that limits the approach options in my view compared to Mimimi's games and I got bored having to kill almost everyone and not just sneaking. I know the enemy are Nazi but so were the enemies in Commandos and you had options to just do the missions without killing everyone in your path.

Artificer is picking up where Mimimi left off.
Extremely familiar gameplay with some new an fun skills tossed into the well known mix. This time it's supernatural agents vs supernatural nazis.
Good puzzles, good presentation with one huge dark spot: I have been playing video games since 1990. This is the first time where I turned off the music. Not the (arguably limited) voicelines by the nazi soldier which are uninspired but ok. The background music. German hip hop or 90s Rave beats are not a good fit.

The game has 10 maps, including tutorials in about half of them. If you want to get the max out of your invest you can go back and do speedruns or don't-use-x challenge runs for achievements but otherwise, thats it. about 20 fun hours with a very Indiana Jones story

在综合素质上，算一个中等偏上的RTT游戏，过场动画啥的都是PPT，一看就是成本有限的小成本制作，不过在技能还有关卡设计上，能看出来制作组对RTT有自己的思考，没有再重复经典盟军类设计（RTT如果还继续框死在盟军类技能和地图设计的话，其实是创新不足的体现）。不过现在的问题是RTT就没有几个能打的作品，所以这个游戏在市面上的RTT作品里，已经算MiMiMi之后的顶流了，希望RTT越来越好吧。
PS：这个游戏一周目通关以后，技能是没有办法升满的，差评。另外就是小Bug有点多，差评。不过瑕不掩瑜，整体还是要给好评。
