Another example of the creative latitude that Stranger’s Wrath affords wannabe bounty hunters would be using the Thudslug ammunition to strike enemies with such force that they get blasted over a set of railings and into a spinning fan waiting below. Firing a Chippunk into a pile of Fuzzles next to a body of water for example, will cause your enemy to stumble around, madly clawing at their neck and back as they topple over into the deathly deep.

Rather than just being a neat gimmick, these different live ammo types can be used to setup some pretty clever and often hilarious scenarios. The delightfully goofy Chippunks can cause a whole heap of noise and force enemies to flock to their location, while the rabid Fuzzles can be stuck onto surfaces and will leap onto enemies who wander too close, savaging them mercilessly. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said ‘live ammo’ either, as our gruff Stranger can stun and pick up various critters that each produce a different effect when fired from Stranger’s crossbow. You see, Stranger not only has his fists (and a rock hard skull), but when switching into first-person view he also has a very special crossbow that can fire literal live ammo at his foes to capture them or, well, not.

With Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath however, developer Oddworld Inhabitants arguably made something so radically different from the series base design DNA that it demands investigation – a fact that remains as true in 2022 as it did back in 2005 during its original release. For the longest time I’ve always admired the versatility of the Oddworld franchise to delve into genres that exist beyond those which played a role in its inception – in much the same way that Steamworld games have managed to pull off a similar feat.
