Description

Oddworld just got Stranger! In this new chapter in the award-winning Oddworld series, players step into the role of the Stranger, a mysterious bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Using a special weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to "live" ammo, players will encounter massive environments, devious opponents and hostile challenges along the way. Combining first and third-person action gameplay with familiar Oddworld elements and an all-new engine to deliver a unique gameplay experience for everyone. Set to award-winning visuals, players will be moved by the complex and inspiring story as the Stranger comes to grips with his true nature in the hunt for the ultimate bounty. Set in expansive and immersive environments ranging from old western towns to thick forests to vast industrial complexes, the heart of the game lies in the 1st person mode and the use of shooting "live" ammo. "Live" ammo uses captured creatures in the game-world as ammunition for Stranger's unique double barreled crossbow. Each creature has a different effect on its target and different combinations allows for a variety of game-play strategies - from stealth action to full mayhem. Powerful upgraded versions allow even greater devastation than the original ammo types.
