Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD Out Now for Nintendo Switch

In 2005, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath released on the original Xbox to glowing critical praise but poor overall sales. Since then, the game has cemented itself as a cult-classic among the wider gaming audience, seeing re-releases on platforms such as PC, PlayStation 3, iOS and Android. Now, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD has been released on Nintendo Switch for £26.99.

Putting players in the shoes of the enigmatic "Stranger", Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath tells a captivating story rooted in surprisingly poignant social and environmental themes. As a bounty hunter, Stranger brings criminals and wrong-doers to justice, earning enough "Moolah" to pay for his desperately-needed life-saving surgery. However, after taking a lucrative contract from the shady owner of Mongo River, Stranger's personal mission quickly becomes one that pulls in the lives of everyone around him.

Stranger's Wrath blends third-person exploration and first-person shooting in a unique style of gameplay that draws from multiple sources of inspiration. Plus, with a peculiar and engrossing alien world to show off, the game's updated visuals won't have gone to waste.

In addition to sharper 1080p graphics, the Nintendo Switch version of the game also boasts gyroscopic controls, improved load times, smoother framerate and improved audio.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is out now for Nintendo Switch. It costs £26.99.
