It was far too dark for my taste, especially in the first part, and the part I personally liked most was the Imp Town.
I played it through, though, and considering the mechanics alone, I didn't see it as a bad game at all - it was just the setting which never quite liked.
I still do hope that the Ranaar will return into the series at one point.
They had released a promotional game called "Imprunner" at one point :
