Official description

Oddworld just got Stranger. In this new chapter in the Oddworld series, step into the role of the Stranger, a mysterious bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Oddworld Stranger combines 1st- and 3rd-person action and shooting, award-winning Oddworld visuals, and an all-new game engine to deliver an unparalleled gameplay experience. Equipped with a one-of-a-kind weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to "live" ammo, you will encounter massive environments, devious opponents, and hostile challenges along the way. Be sure to grill any townsfolk, enemies, and natives you come across because there's no telling what kind of info they have. Oh yeah, and always keep your highly unique - and totally devastating - double-barreled crossbow at the ready. It's a brave new Oddworld.
Features:

* Live ammo... literally! Collect nine unique types of live ammunition including Chippunks, Fuzzles, Thudslugs, and Boombats.
* Upgrade your "live" ammo to increase the power and effectiveness of your arsenal.
* Employ different gameplay strategies as you switch smoothly between 1st- and 3rd-person action with the touch of a button.
* Subdue your bounties in 3rd person with melee attacks including ramming and head-butting, then turn the bounties in for moolah.
* Take aim in 1st person mode for an action-packed shooter experience with your trusty double-barreled crossbow.
