Stranger visiting a bounty store

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is an action-adventure game developed by Oddworld Inhabitants and published by Electronic Arts for the Microsoft Xbox. It was released in January 25 2005. A version for the PlayStation 2 was planned, but cancelled. Oddworld Inhabitants have indicated that they will release the other chapters of Oddworld as movies, as they, supposedly originally, intended. The game details the adventures of Stranger, a fearsome bounty hunter. Throughout the game, Stranger pursues and captures outlaws in order to collect bounties. The goal is to ultimately earn enough moolah (in-game money) to pay for a mysterious life-saving operation. One of the most notable features is the live ammo system, which is literally ammunition made of living creatures such as the "Boombats", which are creatures that explode upon impact. Most of these creatures can be purchased, but also hunted and caught by the player.

Story

The plot summary in this article or section is too long compared to the rest of the article.
Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot.

Two different live ammo types: A thudslug and a chippunk

The story's hero, a bounty hunter known only as The Stranger, (his real name is never given) is seen gathering up small creatures he intends to set traps. Suddenly, an outlaw named Blisterz Booty appears, and begins to chase Stranger until he steps into the Stranger's trap.

After bountying Blisterz, Stranger heads back to the western themed town of Gizzard Gulch, which is populated by the chicken-like Clakkerz. It is then revealed that Stranger collects bounties so he can pay for a mysterious operation from a Vykker simply referred to as "Doc"; the surgery bid comes out to twenty thousand Moolah (note that it is impossible to actually get the operation in-game, which would conflict with the storyline).

Later in the game, Blisterz' brother, Boilz Booty, destroys the town, forcing Stranger to proceed to the next one, after bountying him of course. Eventually, when the player completes the "Eugene Ius" mission, the player learns the story of a "demon" that has tormented a native race of creatures, called the Grubbs, for years that had been forced off by the guardian-like Steef creatures, a powerful, extinct species. We later learn that a person called Sekto who controls the dam that has dried the river, much to the Grubbs dismay. Sekto is apparently offering a large bounty for the heads of Steef; it is revealed here that Sekto is the reason the Steef are extinct. Stranger curiously takes this offer, and a suspicious Sekto hires outlaw D. Caste Raider to track down Stranger and find the location of the Steef, which they believe he knows. As Stranger approaches Doc's main office, he discovers it is overrun by outlaws, and D. Caste Raider captures him and brings him to his hideout to extract the Steef's location out of him. In a major plot twist, Stranger's surgery bid falls out from his pocket; the contents detail a procedure that depicts an operation to turn a strange quadruped creature into a bipedal creature, removing its hind legs. After reviewing the bid, Raider orders his men to remove Stranger's pants, revealing two pairs of legs; Stranger was in fact, a Steef all along. Immediately after this happens, burning arrows fly into the compound, cutting the rope that binds Stranger. He defeats the outlaws and escapes from town as Clakkerz flee from the streets into their homes and fire at Stranger from their windows to take him down and acquire the bounty. The next day, Stranger follows a path to a Grubb village, who happily greet him as their savior. The Grubbs tell Stranger that Sekto is the "demon" of Grubb legend and that the previous Steef has disappeared, leaving Sekto free to drain the valley for his personal gain. The Grubbs give Stranger new armor and an improved crossbow, and send him to defend the village and raid the dam. At this point, the bounty hunting theme is dropped, as enemies the player "bounties" restore ammo, instead of giving moolah; the primary enemies the player encounters are not outlaws, as well, but instead are Wolvarks, alligator-type creatures in service to Sekto. In the final battle between Stranger and Sekto, Stranger destroys generators powering Sekto's shields he creates, which subsequently destroys the dam and releases the water into the valley again, flooding Dusky Hollow, the Clakker city that Stranger escaped from after exiting D. Caste Raider's hideout. As Stranger and the Grubb rebels stand over Sekto's body, one of his shoes has come loose, revealing two Steef hooves. Sekto was "possessing" the Olden Steef^[1], so to speak, who now has a disfigured head with pale, colorless irises. As he dies, he asks in a gasping voice "Is the water...free?" proving, along with the fact that Sekto "possessed" him, that he had not been acting of his own accord. As the game ends, Sekto, revealed to be an octopus-like organism, or also known as the Octigai as told earlier in the game, swims down the Mongo river.

Feature Film version

Stranger's Wrath made itself as a fourth installation in the story of the 2009 film "Citizen Siege". Before, during, and after the plots of Stranger and his battle against outlaws, he teams with Abe, Munch, their allies, and even the human race to drive off the rest of the Glukkons and their minions before the entire universe and everything God created will be entirely in doomsday or at least, in a sadistic and wrongly altered history. Stranger's Wrath's continued storyline depends on how long Citizen Siege lasts after its released in 2009.
