Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

Released2005
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is set in the fictional Oddworld universe, differing in many ways from the preceding installment. The game incorporates two basic genres: third-person platforming action and first-person shooter. The player can switch between the modes at any time by using a melee or a ranged weapon, respectively. The goal of the game, for the most part, is to bag the outlaws and bring them in, collecting "moolah" (the game's currency) in the process. The Stranger can stun or knock down enemies, as well as use a stealthy approach, e.g. hiding in long grass to surprise the enemy.

About This Game

A bounty hunter known only as the Stranger pursues and captures an assortment of criminals, trying to scrape together enough money for a mysterious operation. When he hears that a town of Grubbs has been overrun by a demon, the Stranger heads there. The town was once protected by a race called the Steef, now seemingly extinct, and the Stranger soon learns that a nearby river has been dammed and dried up by a figure named Sekto. As he continues hunting outlaws — and revealing nothing of his own past — the Stranger must confront Sekto.
