  We provide the dictionary between four-dimensional gauged supergravity and
type II compactifications on $\mathbb{T}^6$ with metric and gauge fluxes in the
absence of supersymmetry breaking sources, such as branes and orientifold
planes. Secondly, we prove that there is a unique isotropic compactification
allowing for critical points. It corresponds to a type IIA background given by
a product of two 3-tori with SO(3) twists and results in a unique theory
(gauging) with a non-semisimple gauge algebra. Besides the known four AdS
solutions surviving the orientifold projection to $\mathcal{N}=4$ induced by
O6-planes, this theory contains a novel AdS solution that requires non-trivial
orientifold-odd fluxes, hence being a genuine critical point of the
$\mathcal{N}=8$ theory.
