Hi and welcome!
Using ripped sprites was common in the early days for many RPG Maker games. But over time, people mostly stopped using such resources. However, many German games found their own style (which has its own appeal).
One difference I usually notice when playing English RPG-Maker games is that these emphasise graphics & mechanics over everything else in the game. The battle system in English RPG-Maker games is often very polished really flashy. But the dialogues and character development are often lacking. I feel like the German RPG-Maker games focus much more on the story and the characters; this might be because the old RPG Makers are still somewhat popular.
Some people are still working with the old RPG Makers. Here's a short list of some more or less "recent" games you might enjoy; only available in German, though. But this might be a good chance to improve your German
! You can find a download link on the pages I linked for all games below:
Zauberer und Prinzessin (Screenshots here)
Eterna Remaster (Screenshots original version from 2003 Screenshots from the remastered version
Velsabor (this one is a demo; but you can have fun several hours with it nonetheless)
Licht und Finsternis (Screenshots of the original version can be found here)
Sternenkindsaga (Screenshots here) This is probably the longest RPG-Maker game ever; 12+ years in the making and you can easily play for 80+ hours if you want to finish all quests and find most of the secrets. It contains LOTS of text, though. I know that there is at least a Swedish (or Finnish?) teacher recommending this game to his German class to learn the language.)
Here is a brief list of some old "classics" that were released around the same time as UiD:
Mondschein (Screenshots here)
Eternal Legends (Screenshots here )
Vampires Dawn
Vampires Dawn II (Screenshots here; this one is apparently also available in English)
Then there are RPG Maker games you might like because they are very similar to some old school SNES games (both available in English):
Exit Fate
Lufia - Birth of a Legend (the English link seems to be broken; but you can download the German version and select the English language in-game; then all dialogues will be in English, but the database (items, spells, menu etc.) will be in German. I'll contact the responsible person to fix the link for the English version.)
