Our take on Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
The game centers its identity on bounty hunting, live creature ammunition, and a concealed health-related story. That focus leaves less room for players seeking a broader range of activities beyond missions, combat, exploration, and story progression.
What is Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD?
Control Stranger, a bounty hunter trying to raise funds for surgery related to a concealed medical condition.
In Western Mudos, take contracts through the Bounty Store, question unsettled residents, and bring captured criminals back for detention. Fights revolve around firing living ammunition: Chippunks draw opponents away, Bolamites trap them in sticky webs, while Stingbees and detonating bats inflict harm. The adventure can be viewed from either first-person or third-person perspective. A lucrative contract offered by Mongo River’s proprietor sends Stranger’s journey in an unexpected direction. Additional content includes hidden jokes, items to unlock, 35 Achievements, and three selectable difficulty settings.
