Sumerian Six

About

Sumerian Six casts you as a band of rogue scientists dropped behind enemy lines to sabotage Nazi operations during World War II. You manage a team of specialists in real time, balancing stealth and direct combat as you navigate missions filled with environmental puzzles and resource management. Each character brings unique tools and abilities, from EMP devices to alchemical concoctions, requiring careful planning to exploit weaknesses in enemy patrols and infrastructure. The game emphasizes quick thinking over brute force, with success hinging on positioning, timing, and creative use of your squad’s scientific ingenuity. The game’s blend of tactical depth and offbeat humor sets it apart, pairing grim historical conflict with absurdly inventive gadgetry. While early access reviews for Devolver Digital’s other titles often highlight their knack for niche charm, Sumerian Six leans further into strategic complexity than their usual fare. With a September 2024 release date and a developer known for unconventional gameplay, this one appeals to players who enjoy mixing cerebral puzzle-solving with high-stakes stealth. The Geiststoff-driven storyline adds a supernatural twist to the war effort, though the real hook is how seamlessly it ties into the gameplay mechanics.

Storyline

Sumerian Six follows the Enigma Squad, a team of commandos composed of the world’s greatest scientists who combine their skills to conduct secret missions in their fight against the Third Reich. Together, you seek to thwart ex-member Hans Kammler's nefarious plans involving a powerful, mystical substance named Geiststoff.
