What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The crew's secret mission behind the eastern front increasingly becomes a journey into violence, war crimes, and moral darkness.
The central characters are five soldiers operating together inside a Tiger tank during a dangerous mission.
The crew is explicitly fueled by Wehrmacht-issued methamphetamine as the mission progresses.
The plot describes the mission as an increasingly desperate journey into the heart of darkness rather than a straightforward military operation.
