The music is the standout here. I could listen to that title music for a while; it's great. You've already stated it's a prototype, but I will give some feedback anyways. The combat is kind of clunky. There doesn't feel like there is any weight behind the hits and I just kind of slide past the enemies as I hit them. That is the first thing I would work on especially since this is all about the action. Other than that, I like the idea of meshing different mythologies. It's a cool premise. Great job, and special kudos to the musician on your team.

I love games that mix mythological saga's, reminds me of the amazing Age of Mythology games!

The music is nice and the story looks promising, also a very good start for your character controller, with some more work the combat can be very interesting.

Nice job!

The music is one of my favourite parts of the project we made, so im glad you enjoyed it too! I am also a massive fan of different mythologies, and Sumerian isn't one thats talked about a lot, so im really happy that you like the story!

Hey, I like the mythological take on this, I vaguely remember something about this guy from history lessons. I think since it's about historical events, the storytelling should be the major focus (maybe visual novel style?). The combat should be tweaked as well, but I think you are onto something!

Thank you! I am a massive fan of learning about different mythologies and Sumerian isn't a mythology that gets talked about a lot so im really glad you liked it. I will work hard on implementing the story and tweaking the combat. Thank you very much for your feedback!

Really long text at start, try to make it shorter and have more sentences. The combat is hard because of weird controlling. I believe you can make it a lot better having these great animations. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for playing! I will work on making the controls easier and more responsive. As well as breaking down the text to make it more understandable and easy to read. I was really happy with the concept we came up with, so I'm very happy you took the time to play the game!
