This game quickly became a stapple of my childhood back on the original xbox. I remember waking up early before school and playing before the day had even begun. Its a fantastic blend between 1st and 3rd person view that no other game has seemed to capture. It looks great and plays even better for its age. And the crude, dark humor really makes it a part of the Oddworld universe. I will never forget my first runthrough of this game. One of my top five games of all time, hands down.

Buy it.

I just wish triple A productions today had half as much personality and charm as this game does.

Oddworld: Stranger's Whrath HD is a first/third person game. You are a bounty hunter who works his way up from capturing and turning in wanted criminals for Moolah. The reason why is becasue he needs an operation quickly but it costs 20,000 Moolah. You play a character simply called Stranger who uses like ammo to trap his enemies which is the only way you can turn them in.

+ The game looks great and live, throughout the game every place looks great and diffrent which keeps you intrested. The option menu is good since there is alot of diffrent options for the grathics so most computers can run the game.

+ Storyline works well and since you will get paid differently depending whether you capture them dead or alive, but of course its harder to capture them alive bt you will get paid more. You also get to choose what bounty you want to go get which give you more freedom.

+ There is a good length in this game since its around 10 hours on easy, 12 hours on medium and 15 hours on hard. This a good amount of time, you will get more time if you try to bounty everyone and explore the surroundings thoughout the game.

+ Stranger's Wrath can be a hard game at times, first few hours are fine but then it starts getting alot harder and you will die alot at some points in the game. Its at a good level of difficulty since its not too hard that you want to give up, the game will make you want to get though the hard parts which makes it very rewarding when you get though it.

+ The controls are good and work well with the keyboard and mouse, you can also change the keys to what ever you would like which is great since they can be changed to your liking. Only problem is that Stranger's Wrath does not have controller support.

+ The music is great, it fits perfectly and does not get boring or repetitive. The music mainly plays when your exploring or when your fighting bosses, this works well because it really fits in with the mood of the scene. You can get the soundtrack from the Oddworld website for free.

+ Having Steam Achievements and a good story means that there are some Replayability in the game since you can go back to complete all the achievements or just play th egame again. There is not much but there is enough.

+ Stranger's Wrath is ten years old now. The HD edition is now five years old. It still holds up and looks good to this day. I dont think it will look outdated in some time now.

- The PC port is bad! Really bad. Most computer will be able to run the game but the main problem is that the frame rate is always really low... I get around 25 to 30 on a R9 280X. It you want the game then be prepared.

- For some reason Stranger's Wrath HD is really buggy, the original game isnt but this is. There are lots of bugs and some of them are game breaking. Since they dont update the game anymore you will have to put up with it... Real shame is I love the Oddworld franchise.

Overall I would say Stranger's Wrath HD is a great and fun game that most people will like. Its original and diffrent which is whats great about Oddworld. I rate Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD an 8 out of 10. I would recommend the game if you can put up with the port and the bugs.

Stranger's Wrath is an interesting shooter slash third person game to say the least. You take on the roll of a mysterious bounty hunter named Stranger who is trying to gather 20 000 Moolah for a surgery he says he "needs to survive" but not more is said in the beginning of the game. He hates guns, and uses nothing but his crossbow on his hand with unusual live ammo like Fuzzles and Bolamites.

PROS:
unique game style
+- 13 hour gameplay (on hard)
Great visuals
(I have to put this in) The way Stranger sprints

CONS:
Most non-story achievements are broken
Game can be glitchy (in the end levels for me)

CONCLUSION:
Stranger's Wrath is an awesome game for anyone looking for something different in the FPS genre and just need a break from typical shooters. While the mechanics between first person and third are unsure what the game is supposed to be, they work together well enough to make the game enjoyable

8/10 Silky Drawers

Mai oh mai... Stranger is back and ready to mow down some outlaws. This is a must have if you have played it originally or are interested in bounty hunter fps adventure action games. This game is great addition to the oddworld series.

Flat out one of the best games in teh last 10 years.

Pros:
-Playing as a coyote man thing who's a badass bounty hunter with a dual-channel crossbow
-Live Ammo
-Hunting LIVE Ammo
-Chaos
-Beating up Chicken People and taking their money
-Fairly open world to explore and fun ways to interract with the environment
-Nostalgia!

Cons:
-Wonky control scheme, but it's easily formatted to fit your playstyle

Protip:
If using a mouse and keyboard, mousewheel up/down for changing ammo, and using 1&2 keys or mouse buttons to select which ammo you want in either ammo channel

Strangers Wrath was one of my all time favorite games for the xbox. I really enjoyed the stealth bounty aspect of the game. And all the silly volgar little characters add such a twisted hummor to the game. The story is very unique and very exciting on your first play through.

This game brings back soooo many memories, it is one of my favourite games in the Oddworld universe and is still amazingly fun to play after so long! I strongly reccomend this game!

I finally had to have Strangers Wrath since my Xbox finally died before I had a chance to finish playing. This is a game that has given inspiration to many developers and I don't know of any other game that uses live animals as ammunition. This is the game that made me try out Steam and I think it is a game that everyone should try. Its ridiculous and the controls are a bit buggy the characters are very unusual and cartoonish which shows some real thought on the game developers part. Bottom line if you enjoy FPS and Action games you probably wont be disappointed.

One of my favourite childhood games. Fun mix between platforming and shooting. Recommended.

very fun but hard at times and quick save often

different style from previous oddworld entries but its a great unique game

You can finally fight in oddworld!!!!

This Game Is A blast! I First played This Game On The original XBOX. It's The Only Game I Ever Played On A Console. When I Saw It On Steam I Had To Have It. I Don't Usually Play Single Player Mode, But I Loved This FPS/3rd Person Game. It's Worth The Sale Price For Sure!

(Played game on Xbox years ago so dissregard the hours) Very fun game, fast paced but not like any other Oddworld game. The weapons are intresting, you use live ammo to kill/bate/capture enemies. It's very short and there is not much replay value maybe 6-8 first time, it's very linear but keeps you on your toes.

Pro: Fun, Fast paced, Intresting and unique story and gameplay.

Con: Short and not much replay value.

awsome retro game loved the original

Inteligent, original, fun and difficult. Srsly, even easy was pretty tough during the game. Beatiful ending and message. The most badass of Oddworld games. Worth every dime you got

Stranger's Wrath, well, were do I begin. I'd like to point out that because this is an HD remake that the graphics and sound are fantastic, but what about the game. Well, you learn early in the game that the protaginist bounty hunter, Stranger, has an urgent medical problem that needs to be taken care of, otherwise he will die, but the procider will cost 20,000 mullah(and in the game not only will u receive at most 500-1000 mullah at max from bounty hunting, u are constantly buying upgrades(unless u want to cheat by constantly beat up the towns-folk))(not to mention that the only resemblense to the other oddworld games with this one is Vlukkons and the Glukkons(yep, not even the Mudokuns apear in this installment,but it doesnt matter)), so Stranger is forced to do more bounties. Thats all I'll say about the story. The gameplay is also fantastic due to the genuies 1st/3rd person style gameplay with the Critter Lancher, one of the best weapons in gaming history due to fact that it can lanch any critter Stranger can fit on the hand crossbow and use them as ammo(the lightning bugs are the only critters that u use to farm critters and also have an unlimited ammo). The other elements are also done very well, as how you have to capture enemies and bounty people alive to get a lot more profit(its the dead profit times by high timing numbers like 5 or 4 or 3 or even 6). I dont know what else to say, get the game in the Oddbox(since buying the game by itself is stupid, seeing the Oddbox is 10 USD and Stranger's Wrath by itself is 10 USD), and play this magnificent game as well as the others now!

...Can you hear that? Thats the sound of a great game going down the drain.
This is by far my #1 favourite game in the world, but filled with too many bugs :( I spent an hour loading the game over and over again, the developers said they would look into fixing it... never did... good job guys, you took the money and ran. I'm not saying that this game is bad or good, but developers... i guess i could say don't care, and it's really sad :(

Overall rating: 9.5/10 Amazing gameplay but too many bugs to get the big 1-0
