History VideoGame / StrangersWrath

[[caption-width-right:350:"Dead or alive, your ass is coming with me."]]

* BadassBolas: Bolamites, which are spiders that, when fired from Stranger's crossbow, [[AllWebbedUp wrap enemies up in webbing]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin like a Bola]].

* BeeAfraid: Stingbee ammo invokes this.

* ArtMajorBiology: ''Stranger's Wrath'' never explains [[spoiler: how Stranger manages to walk on two legs despite being built like a centaur, let alone how he manages to cram what is essentially a small pony's body into human-size/shape trousers and boots.]] However, it can be justified as either BizarreAlienBiology or an AcceptableBreakFromReality.
* ArtMajorPhysics: Additionally, his ability to cram targets into a container the size of a wrist-watch isn't even [[HandWave hand waved]].

* DeadCharacterWalking: If the player enables the invincibility cheat code but then falls into a fan, they will remain able to move and attack as continous fountain of LudicrousGibs.
* [[DeadGuyOnDisplay Dead Grubbs On Display]]: The Wolvarks string up some dead Grubbs outside their first facility, possibly as a warning or a threat.

%%* {{Outlaw}}s

* TimedMission: One of the final sections gives you 3 minutes to [[spoiler:run through and climb the collapsing inner structures of a dam.]]

* [[WalkItOff Shake It Off]]: Stranger's method of regaining health is to literally shake off the pain and injury. Enemies' darts may stick on his body, but this healing mechanic makes them fall off on the floor instead.

* UpdatedRerelease: Now available for PC and the [=PS3=].

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Attacking the Clakkerz is understandable, since they drop Moolah and they're rude to you anyway. [[spoiler:But the ''Grubbs''? Who not only ''don't'' drop Moolah, but ''apologize'' when you bump into them and ''worship you as their savior?'' That's pretty cold.]]

** VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: If you terrorize the Clakkerz enough, they'll retreat into their houses and start shooting at you.

* WalkItOff: Stranger's method of regaining health is to literally shake off the pain and injury.
%%* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Doc.]]

* ToiletHumour: In the Wolvark Barracks, two Wolvarks are locked in the toilets evidently suffering from... terrible digestive problems, to put it mildly (apparently due to eating too much Fuzzle Pie).

* PunnyName: Eugene Ius[[note]]"You Genius"[[/note]], Jo' Momma[[note]]"Yo momma"[[/note]] and Frayda Evryting[[note]]"Fry everything"[[/note]].

* PunnyName: Eugene Ius, Jo' Momma and Frayda Evryting.

* PuzzleBoss: Many of the major Outlaws are this. Packrat Palooka requires you to shut off his shield and somehow knock him off his stage. Elboze Freely has an obvious weak point on his back, and only shows it if you're above him out of his range.

* TheReveal: Comes midway through the game, when [[spoiler:Stranger is outed as a Steef]], and at the end, when it turns out that [[spoiler:Sekto's host body was was Olden Steef.]]

* RunningOnAllFours: Stranger will drop to all fours if he runs for long enough.

* [[WalkItOff Shake It Off]]: Stranger's method of regaining health is to literally shake off the pain and injury.

* ShirtlessScene: Stranger gets one later into the game.

* SpikesOfVillainy: Some Outlaws wear metal armor covered in spikes.

* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Stranger in the latter half of his game, where he's stripped of his upgrades after being outed as a Steef. Without the outfit that restricts his real form, Stranger, now a Steef has faster movement, while enemies deal more damage. However, he later gains greater ammo and armour upgrades, and the fact that he's no longer a bounty hunter means that he's less compelled to keep enemies alive.]]

* GreenAesop: [[spoiler:The Grubbs' fight against Sekto and his company has this kind of message.]]

* LittleNo: Stranger utters a few as his medical file falls to the floor.

** There isn't nearly enough to buy to make you run out of cash, even if you capture major bounties dead. [[spoiler:Especially because once Stranger gets captured and outed, you never use Moolah again.]]

* ArtMajorBiology: Stranger's Wrath never explains [[spoiler: how Stranger manages to walk on two legs despite being built like a centaur, let alone how he manages to cram what is essentially a small pony's body into human-size/shape trousers and boots.]] However, it can be justified as either BizarreAlienBiology or an AcceptableBreakFromReality.

* BountyHunter: Stranger. Bounty Hunting appears to be a well-recognized and pursued profession- there are specific stores in every town just for turning in bounties.

* DeadCharacterWalking: If the player enables the invincibility cheat but then falls into a fan, they will remain able to move and attack as continous fountain of LudicrousGibs.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:When Stranger enters the Bounty Office for the first time, he says he needs Doc to "fix a problem" ''as he scratches his leg.'']]

* GaidenGame: ''Stranger's Wrath'' is completely outside the quintology, acting as a spin-off of sorts to expand the Oddworld backstory.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Stranger in the latter half of his game, where he's stripped of his upgrades after being outed as a Steef. However, he later gains greater ammo and armour, and the fact that he's no longer a bounty hunter means that he's less compelled to keep enemies alive.]]

''Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath'' is a spin-off of the ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}'' franchise. In contrast to previous games, you play as the enigmatic and eponymous "Stranger," a gruff-voiced bounty hunter roaming the land looking for outlaws to hunt down and bring to justice--dead or alive. The gameplay is quite unique for switching between third-person platforming, and first-person shooting, along with its distinct Oddworld charm like the strange and bizarre residents, the crude humour, and that the Stranger uses live critters as ammo, among other weirdness.

It was originally released for the original Xbox in 2005 and was later ported to other systems such as the [=PS3=], the PS Vita, the Ouya, Windows (through Steam), iOS, and Android.

* JustYouAndMeAndMyGuards: Filthy Hands Floyd, Boilz Booty, Jo' Momma, Packrat Palooka, X'plosives [=McGee=], Lefty Lugnutz and Fatty [=McBoomBoom=] all have their gang supporting them during their fights, Looten Duke first runs off after encountering him and has some Outlaw Mortars attack you which you need to kill before he actually fights him, and Meagly Mcgraw comes riding in on a large outlaw named Tiny which you have to kill before you can damage and bounty Meagly.

* AntiHero: Stranger might bring in criminals for a living, [[GoodIsNotNice 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. He also has no qualms about [[spoiler:feeding said criminals to his ammo-making bag in the second half of the game.]]

* BeeBeeGun: Stranger uses stingbees as machine-gun bullets.

* NoNameGiven[=/=]OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Stranger, who seems to be called such by the Clakkerz only because they don't know what else to call him. Also, following TheReveal, the Grubbs refer to him simply as [[spoiler:Steef.]] His real name is never revealed.

** After Stranger captures Filthy Hands Floyd, a Clakker can be heard saying "[[BringMyBrownPants I think I messed my drawers...]]"

* ArtMajorBiology[=/=]ArtMajorPhysics: Stranger's Wrath never explains [[spoiler:how Stranger manages to walk on two legs despite being built like a centaur, let alone how he manages to cram what is essentially a small pony's body into human size/shape trousers and boots.]] However, it can be justified as either BizarreAlienBiology or an AcceptableBreakFromReality.
** ArtMajorPhysics: Additionally, his ability to cram targets into a container the size of a wrist-watch isn't even [[HandWave hand waved]].
