Saving Content: 4 / 5 by Scott Ellison II

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.

Cloud Dosage: 3.8 / 5 by Jon Scarr

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.

WellPlayed: 7 / 10 by Ash Wayling

While frayed on more than a couple edges, Sumerian Six still manages to deliver a brilliant strategy experience that nails that oh-so endangered feeling of micro-managerial mayhem.
