Oddworld seems to be having something of a resurgence lately, thanks to the recently remastered New n' Tasty and people feeling all nostalgic due to the Playstation celebrating its 20th birthday. This is hardly a bad thing, since gaming has surely missed these strange and humorous creatures. If the iOS port of the 2005 Xbox adventure game Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is a culmination of that nostalgia then gamers should be very pleased, because it's a console-quality adventure that still holds up very well.
Last of all is the stealth element, giving players the option to take out enemies one by one by setting off traps or creating them, all while hidden from view amidst tall grass. These different styles come together seamlessly to give players the ability to decide how they resolve the matter at hand, preventing Stranger's Wrath from feeling too linear and monotonous, and instead feeling fresh and exciting.
All in all, iOS gamers are getting a great adventure game that deserves to attract new players. The graphics might not completely hold up against the latest iOS releases, but the excellent old-school gameplay and genuinely humorous voice acting is what will keep gamers coming back for more.
