About Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD for PlayStation®3 , 2011
Released in December 2011, this high-definition remake of the fourth game from Oddworld Inhabitants was globally well received, achieving a Metacritic rating of 82%. Stranger’s Wrath, tells the tale of a bounty hunter who, while hunting down criminals, attempts to conceal a secret that, if revealed, could endanger his life. The first full-on action title in the series, mixing third and first person-shooter gameplay, the game was set in the Wild West of Oddworld, far from the industrial lands that housed Abe and Munch’s tales. The game adapted Oddworld’s unique Gamespeak feature, using it more as a soft hint system to give the player subtle clues while preserving the hardcore gaming integrity. The game also debuted a ‘live ammo’ concept where the ammunition was made of living creatures, which the player had to capture in order to use.
