Guten tag! Er, I don't know German at all, but (based on Google translate) thank you for the kind words! I've been developing this game for 3+ years now. 

I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try, and I'd love to hear what you think (language barrier notwithstanding...)

High praise coming from the creator of the amazing Realms of Legacy—thank you!

I had the honor and pleasure of playing a short campaign of Peerless. Some of my favorite things: 

• The setting. I am not a huge wuxia fan, but the vibe is totally here. What impressed me more about the setting is how elegantly it supports everything else in the game, particularly combat. In many TTRPGs, the "heroes" are expected to win every fight. In Peerless, that's very much not the case—and it totally works, because in this world, the "strong" do not bully the weak, and losing battle is part of progress. It also makes combat genuinely exciting because there isn't plot armor or PC-skewed mechanics protecting you from losing.
• Organic character progression. As fun as it is to "theorycraft" and build ideal/superpowered characters in other games, in Peerless, you're encouraged to inhabit this world, and your character's abilities and sensibilities flow naturally from that. There is a great sense of progression, but it feels natural, attuned to your character's actual experiences and failures.
• Creative martial arts. The game provides building blocks to create an infinite variety of martial arts, and the results feel genuinely expressive and thematic. The mechanics sit at a nice level of complexity—there's quite a bit of feinting, reacting, and resource-management, but rolling the dice is quick and the math is easy. 

If you're looking for a wuxia game, or just looking for something different from the sea of D&D/PF, PbtA, BitD, L&F, and other well-trod acronyms out there, I highly recommend Peerless. 

You are too kind, stranger. Thanks for taking a look—I hope you enjoy the rest!
