It only took me about 20 minutes of frustrating touch controls to decide that the only way of reliably and enjoyably playing Strangers Wrath on iOS is with a controller, such as the Steel Series Stratus. I imagine after a while you could get used to the touch controls, but they certainly take away from the overall experience and made it very unenjoyable for me. It’s a system that has been seen on mobile time and time again, and it is still yet to be perfected by anyone.

The buttons are also quite small, even on my massive iPhone 6 Plus screen, and thus became quite difficult to press with my rather large fingers.ĭragging across the left of the screen moves Stranger while dragging across the right moves the camera, (proving you don’t tap a button as you press to move initially). A tutorial does a good job of guiding you through them, but because there is no standard virtual button layout I often forgot which button I had to press. Because of the complex mechanics and view switching the right side of the screen is filled with virtual buttons, all of which have different jobs. What does become tedious and incredibly frustrating are the touch controls. The formula does slightly change after the game’s big twist, but I wont spoil that here! Despite the slightly repetitive missions they never really becomes boring or tedious. The majority of the experience revolves around hunting these bounties across the beautiful world in order to raise some cash. The crossbow and the basic third person fighting mechanics are your main combat options, which you will need in order to fulfill the many bounties you accept throughout your time as the Stranger. However, in order to use ammo you must first collect it, as they are all small creatures that you must capture. The varied ammo types not only add extra tactical options to the game, but are also great fun to use and experiment with. Some will create a sound to lure enemies to a certain area others can be fired and left on walls to create a trap for any enemies that walk by. You can fill it with multiple types of ammo, all of which have different functionalities. Your crossbow is really quite interesting in itself. Third person is preferable for exploring, allowing you to see more of the world around you and making the platforming sections slightly easier, while first person sees you whip out your crossbow to perform ranged attacks. A simple tap of a button (or not so simple as I’ll mention later) will switch from third to first person, not only changing how you see the world but also how you can interact with it. One of Stranger’s Wrath’s most interesting ideas was how it merged third person action with first person shooting. So this iOS release not only has to live up to the expectations of fans, but also has the daunting task of introducing new, mobile players to the Oddworld party. In the subsequent years it has grown into the definition of a cult game, with a relatively small but passionate fan base that regard it as one of the most interesting games ever made. When it originally launched towards the end of the original Xbox’s life it didn’t exactly set the world alight, but critics seemed to like it.
