Sumerian Six

ever

Same good quality and gameplay as the Mimimi games.Recomended on 100%

I really like this genre and I played the original Commandos when it first came out back in the day. I also played all the games by Mimimi and by chance I stumbled upon Sumerian Six. I'm so glad I bought it! The game took me about 20 hours to finish and I had a blast playing it. The missions are diverse, well designed and I felt there are always multiple ways to solve situations. The special abilities of the characters are really cool and they were a joy to use. The supernatural WW2 vibe and enemies were something different and allowed the devs to implement some over the top stuff like turning one character into a bear. How cool is that! Oh, and clearing a room was always satisfying. The only thing that I missed a little was footprints in the sand/snow to lure enemies.. but it's actually no big deal. The game itself ran very stable, I had no crashes. Quickload and Quicksave are instant and it's super helpful that the quicksave list shows screenshots of the moment the quicksave was taken! These are little QOL things that show how much effort went into the game. Since I'm well used to these games the regular difficulty was sometimes a bit too easy, but overall it allowed me to get into a flow. Maybe it's just the overall trend these days to make games more accessible. It's not a bad thing though.. Commandos was very punishing e.g. and if you want a challenge, you can always ramp up the difficulty. So anyway.. if you're into this niche genre, I can fully recommend this game. It's not expensive and really delivers!

I love the game. It is a bit rough around the edges. Some of the view cones of the enemies are sometimes a bit nonsensical and the enemy variety isn't quite there yet but the story and the core gameplay loop is on point. Really great game for all fans of this tacital strategy genre. BUT the optimization of the game is horrendous. Everytime I start the game for the first time I get a fatal error. Then during the game the framerate drops down to 5 every now and then. THe game freezes and stutters even on lower setting and whenever several of my units take action and trigger an alarm the game freezes and I have to kill the task. I would sooo love to give this game a good rating but it's just not there yet on the technical site.

The Mimimi gameplay recipe with some fun pulp story. I loved the Indiana Jones vibes.
