'''''Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath''''' is the fourth and (for now) final game released by the ''[[Oddworld]]'' team. Mostly unrelated to the previous Oddworld games, ''Stranger's Wrath'' focuses on the story of the titular Stranger as he makes his living as a [[Bounty Hunter]] and struggles to come up with enough money for a mysterious life-saving operation. ''Stranger's Wrath'' is also different from the three previous games in gameplay- it's an Action/[[First Person Shooter]].
 
Originally released for the Xbox in 2005, ''Stranger's Wrath'' has seen a recent rereleasere-release as part of the Oddbox on [[Steam]]. An updated rereleasere-release on the PlaystationPlayStation Network iswas done. It also re-releases on the[[GOG.com]] as an HD horizonRemake.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Stranger only uses small animals and insects as ammo for his crossbow.
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: The Wolvarks certainly show shades of this.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Stranger might bring in criminals for a living, [[Good Is Not Nice|but that does NOT mean he's a nice guy]]. His way of getting the Sky Carts in Mongo Valley running? Assaulting then threatening the operator.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Without fail, hostile targets will be leaders of their own gang. And without fail, they will all be much, 'much' stronger than their minions. Of course, this could also be a case of [[Asskicking Equals Authority]].
* [[Automatic Crossbow]]: Stranger's crossbow goes full auto when he uses Stingbees.
Line 24:
* [[Cutscene Boss]]: Blisterz Booty, who gets captured in the first cutscene of the game. All you have to do is bounty him.
* [[Dead Guy on Display|Dead Grubbs On Display]]: The Wolvarks string up some dead Grubbs outside their first facility, possibly as a warning or a threat.
* [[Diesel PunkDieselpunk]]: Some of the later settings in the game have this feel, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as in the other Oddworld games.
* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: Stranger.
* [[Downer Ending]]: The last boss? {{spoiler|It's the other last Steef, who unknown to ''anyone'', was possessed by Sekto, who was [[Brought Down to Normal]] but escaped and swims away in the newly freed river.}}
Line 70:
* [[Spread Shot]]: The Bola Blast and Riotslug both do this, one with webs that disable enemies and one with slugs that function like shotgun pellets.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: [[Mook]]s have them. Stranger [[Super Not-Drowning Skills|does not]].
* [[Throwing the Distraction]]: Thanks to Chippunks and Howler Punks, this trope has never been easier.
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|The Stranger, who is revealed to be The [[Last of His Kind]] as a Steef.}}
** {{spoiler|He's not necessarily the last of his own kind.}}
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Generally averted- sure, you've only got about ten Boombats max most of the time, but there'll be more up ahead somewhere. Also averted near the end of the game when {{spoiler|the Grubbs modify Stranger's bounty device and make it generate ammo when you bounty enemies. [[Fridge Horror|They're used as food for the ammo.]]}} If you do avoid using some of the weapons, it's because you're trying not to kill your bounties.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The upcoming [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can beat up and/or shoot the Klakkerz in town for moolahMoolah. You can also do the same to Grubbs later in the game...but they don't give you anything. You monster.
** [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: If you terrorize the townschickenstown's chickens enough, they'll retreat into their houses and start shooting at you.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A crossbow and his fists for Stranger. Most of the outlaw bosses have their own as well- Packrat Palooka uses missiles and Lefty Lugnutz uses a hunting rifle, just to name a few.
