It sold reasonably well in Germany, just like other titles from this studio. It was never as popular as any of the Gothic or even Risen games though, but a small community still formed around it.

I had no issues with it when it launched, on fairly modest hardware. Quite an enjoyable open world game with great world design and somewhat clunky, if highly skill-based combat and movement, as to be expected from this studio. The way the jet pack is a core part of the game design is remarkable, if you actually make use of it as intended.
