Dear Gamer,I wasn't quite sure what to write here; if you've played the MINOS demo, I'd be preaching to the choir; you're probably already sold on the game.Part of the reason the game is so lovable is that, compared to all our previous games, I gave up on You. The broad, general, "target audience", "market demographic", You.With our previous projects, we tried to anticipate what players want. What genres does the market want now? What are some features players demand or expect? Trying to make informed, analytical decisions. And while those games were really well received (93%, 94% positive), t

Hello! After a week of looking at your feedback from the beta branch, we feel it's time to set Patch 1.0.3 live, so that anyone looking to play Sumerian Six over the Christmas Holiday can enjoy the improved experience with our game. We truly appreciate your help here, and we hope you'll have a lot of fun! Patch 1.0.3 notes: The game should no longer crash when blowing up enemies with Rosa’s Human Bomb ability, while another enemy in the explosion area is affected by Siegfried's Distract ability The game should no longer crash when attempting to cancel Rosa’s Stunning Link ability after loading

Greetings Wonderful People! We're rolling out a hotfix to several issues that seemed to trouble a good number of you after the release of Sumerian Six. Hotfix 1.0.2 includes: Fixes/improvements to border scrolling acting out sometimes, especially for those of you playing in windowed fullscreen mode and on multi-monitor setups Fixes/improvements to a number of issues related to Disruptor. The biggest culprit here concerned some abilities no longer being available to use after leaving the Disruptor's effects. Please let us know if you find more serious issues with this one after the hotfix Fixes

The Commandos games remain some of the greatest tactical strategy experiences ever made, and later this year you'll be able to play your first truly new title in the series for 18 years, Commandos Origins. However, while you wait for that particular WW2 RTS game to arrive, here's an intriguing alternative you can play instead. Meet Sumerian Six, a brand-new stealthy strategy game that swaps soldiers for surreal scientists. Read the rest of the story...

Sumerian Six is finally here! Put that werebearing, nazi-face-melting, super-sciencing game in your cart and enjoy. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1429850/Sumerian_Six/ We did quite a bit of bug fixing and polishing on the final stretch, thanks to your incredible feedback from playing the demo. You might take a look at the recently updated version before you pull the trigger, too. Also, please note that the mission unlocks and collected XP boost crates carry over from the demo, so you can start from level 3. Or from scratch, if you will. It's plenty of fun either way! Keep in mind that the

We're looking forward to seeing everyone hop in when the game launches. In the meantime, why don't you make the wait easier by playing the newly updated demo? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2981640/Sumerian_Six_Demo/

A fun fact about me is that I have an Master's degree in War Studies. Before I was writing about videogames I wrote my dissertation of allohistorical (alt-history) fiction and its relationship with World War II, looking at book turned movie Look Who's Back (Er ist wieder da) specifically. As a result, I have a complex view on alternative histories that I could write 17,000 words on, but don't worry, I won't do that here. Instead, I'll introduce you to Sumerian Six, a weird yet wonderful WWII-set RTS that has me set to break away from my somber WWII traditions. Read the rest of the story...

Hey there! Sumerian Six is coming along nicely. Based on the feedback we received from everyone enjoying the demo, we made a bunch of changes to the game, which is why we thought we'd update it to the latest version. This new demo build comes with more than a handful of tweaks and fixes and should make for a more enjoyable Nazi-hunting experience. Please continue sharing your feedback with us here on the Steam community or on our Discord. It's absolutely invaluable. We'll have some major news to share this month, so stay tuned for more!

Hey there! First of all, we wanted to sincerely thank you for all the feedback and support for Sumerian Six so far! Seeing that some of you encountered performance issues during the second level in the Demo (Lilleby), which may happen in specific circumstances, we decided to push a hotfix in order to facilitate a full playthrough of the Demo. The hotfix to our best understanding should address performance issues (medium to severe FPS drops, occasional freezes) for players who activated the environment kill with the truck in Lilleby (screenshot attached below), and then continued their playthro

Hi all! We were blown away by the reception of our announcement this past weekend and cannot begin to explain how much we appreciate your support so far. If you haven't already, make sure to give Sumerian Six a go - the demo is currently available as part of the huge Steam Next Fest event. We hope you like it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2981640

- "Wer ist da" means... what? I have a vivid memory of my friend's mom peeking into his room as we played Commandos (he was the first of our bunch to own a PC). She'd overhear a shout in German and quickly shuffle from the kitchen. She taught German language at our primary school, and couldn't miss the occasion to teach a thing or two. While I didn't have a knack for German, I did have a knack for Commandos and tactical games. I liked Behind Enemy Lines, but truly loved Beyond The Call Of Duty. I found Commanos 2 too easy with all the ammo lying around begging you to cheese your way through, a
