Although the headlines of the video game industry tend to be dominated by action or sports titles, the strategy and tactics genre still has a good number of players interested in these proposals. Today we want to talk to you a very interesting title for all those who like to plan and who like to put themselves in the shoes of a great strategist. For fans (and for those who are not) of games in the style CommandosHere we bring you our analysis of Six Sumerians.
The game is available since September 2 on PC exclusively. We do not rule out the release on Xbox if it meets the critics and sales. Moreover, seeing that behind is Digital returnThere are reasons to believe so.
The Enigma Squad at our service
and what is it Six Sumerians? Well, we are faced with a proposal, as we said, “of Commandos“heir to the genre that Pyro put at the top of video games and which many of us miss (despite a new one on the way). Commandos). We will therefore be in charge of 6 characters who will play the role of protagonists and we will have to assign orders to achieve our objectives on the map. These 6 characters will have different skills which we can take advantage of (and comb ine) to, in the long term, eliminate the enemies that stand in the way of our objectives. All this since the use of tactics and stealth
Sumerian Six offers a somewhat traditional but very well-staged story.
But before getting into its gameplay, I think it is necessary to contextualize the work and tell you about its history. In Six Sumerians we will be part of the Enigma Squadrona team of the best scientists on the planet. Through secret missions, we will fight against the Third Reich to thwart the evil plan of his former partner, Hans Kammler, who intends to use a powerful mystical substance called Geiststoff.
The story is followed with interest and is told to us between mission and mission.. Even though we are not facing a plot that will blow us away, I liked the mix of Nazi Germany and the scientific/paranormal touch that gives a different flavor to a film. background experienced several times already.
Classic gameplay for Commandos fans
But entering the purely playable, throughout the 10 missions which hosts the game Artificer, we will gradually discover more characters than the 6 in total, since in the first missions we will only have 2 or 3 available. Little by little, the team is growing. and in the last missions it becomes a big theater in which we have all the characters.
The most interesting part of the gameplay will be the SKILLS. We will have all kinds of them and they range from devices that obscure the visibility of the enemies to be able to strike from behind, to decoys, whistles, bottles that we can throw, and a long etcetera that makes there is always a possible outcome faced with a situation in which you think you cannot move forward.
But to move forward The collaboration of all our characters will be vitalsince a single man/woman will not be able to defeat all the enemies. So, while one distracts him, the other can for example go behind him and stab him. As we progress, things will become more complicated and the enemies will be harder to fight. But fortunately, new characters will gradually be added and their skills will perhaps be even more deadly.
Strategy and planning will be key in Sumerian Six
Grace will also be to be able to stop time and “plan” our actions so that when we reach “enter“, are executed and our plan is going perfectly. In case of disaster or if you are one of those who, like me, want to go through the game without setting off an alarm, do not worry; The F5 and F8 keys are your allies with the recorded quickly and the fast charge.
Anyone who has had experience in this type of proposal will already know what I’m talking about, since it is a game very faithful to what the classics of this genre offer. And if you have played Shadow Gambit: The Cursed CrewThis title will be very familiar to you. When I say very familiar, I am being politically correct, since Sometimes there are very clear inspirations that are on the verge of copying.. Of course, I consider that, even if he borrows a lot of things, still has its own personalityespecially when it comes to history and the fact that, Here, a death of the protagonists means the end of the game.
A great improvement that should be present in all games of this type
Maybe what i liked the most Six Sumerians (and this may sound silly, but when you use it you wonder why other works don’t have it), it’s the possibility, with a single key, to speed up time and make the patrol you’re waiting to pass through a certain location move faster. And this will be more appreciated on larger maps, where bad guys sometimes have longer routes.
In short, we are faced with a classic gameplay in this type of games Commandos“ but he has a a wide variety of skills and one improvement of quality of life very important with its rapid advancement.
Technical and audiovisual section
As for the technical part, we have not suffered from any bug throughout the game (finishing it may take you from 2 p.m. to more than 12 a.m. if you want to complete all the side objectives and challenges) and I think Six Sumerians That’s very polite.
He audiovisual section recalls the posthumous work of Mimimi Games and evokes that bright color paletteas well as some scenes between missions which increase the quality of their audiovisual section. With voice in englishthe game comes with Spanish subtitles.
Six Sumerian Conclusions
As a conclusionI can’t help myself recommend Six Sumerians to all game fans Commando type. Although it is clearly inspired by Shadow Gambit: The Cursed CrewThe game offers new skills and a very elaborate setting in which we greatly appreciate its quality of life improvements. Even if it’s not your thing, we encourage you to give it a try because of how fun it is and how much play it ultimately offers..
