Jumps and double-jumps help him to reach higher ledges, and he’s hardy and nimble enough to survive a fall from any height provided he can see the ground – and it’s a good thing, too, as Stranger’s Wrath is often quite a vertical game, asking you to scale canyon walls and cross rickety bridges to reach your target. Run for a few seconds in any direction and he’ll drop to all fours, galloping across the sand and dirt without need of a horse. The adventure takes him to various dry, dusty canyons and dark forests, across rushing rivers and through abandoned towns and, while there isn’t a lot of variety, it doesn’t get boring – mostly because controlling Stranger is a joy.
When he rolls into a windblown town looking for a doctor, he finds himself drawn into a fight to save a dying race from extinction at the hands of a powerful Demon who has cut off their water supply. The arid, Old West-inspired setting inhabited by anthropomorphic chickens and toad-like thugs is brilliantly imagined, and the perfect fit for Stranger’s particular brand of justice. For a start, he’s ill, possibly even dying from a mysterious ailment, and it’s his saving-up for the cure-all operation to fix it that forms the basis of his initial motivation. Stranger is a simple character, but not without his mysteries. You play the role of Stranger, a part-canine, part-feline, part something-or-other humanoid bounty hunter with a deep voice and a short temper, tracking down wanted outlaws in exchange for moolah – the game’s currency. Story-wise, nothing has changed between the very first Xbox-exclusive release of Stranger’s Wrath in 2005 and this one. As such it marries the typically off-kilter Oddworld sense of humour with an imaginative alien world setting and some wonderfully creative gameplay mechanics, all buffed up with a HD cloth and lovingly squeezed onto the Vita’s pretty little screen.
