    Starting with no expectations, you wouldn't believe how fun it is for an unknown german game.

    I always recomend this game to people that don't mind playing games that don't have the modern aesthetics. You start this game almost nude and you have to fight for your first wooden stick, just in the beginning you w... Read Full Review
