''Grezzo 2'' (Full name: ''Grezzo Due - Una Magica Avventura''[[note]]''"Grezzo Two - A Magical Adventure"''[[/note]]) is an Italian total conversion of ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]'', developed by Nicola Piro. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglVuYr0BJg The first trailer was released in february 2012]] preceeded by some video demonstrations; after a demo, the first complete version was released in Christmas the same year. In the summer of 2013, the expansion pack ''Viaggio a Merdjugorje'' ("Trip to Shitjugorje"[[note]]the Italian title is a pun on "merda" (shit) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medjugorje Medjugorje]][[/note]]) was released, and in December of the same year, the final version of ''Grezzo 2'' was released on the occasion of the game's first anniversary.
The creator had always been an avid fan of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and in general of videogames from the '90s (in particular [=FPSs=]) chracterised by gratutious and cheap violence. During his high school days he already made a ''Doom'' mod called ''Grezzo'' ("rough" or "of low quality"), with the original maps but different sounds and spirtes for the enemies. The game was never updated online as it featured too many in-jokes understandable only by him and his friends. He started working on ''Grezzo 2'' with a similar idea in mind, but later thought of updating online hoping it would've been appreciated by some more people.
After the release of the first demo, and thanks to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxHeMoY-RX4 praise received by Parliamo di Videogiochi]] (a well-known Italian channel of videogame reviewers), ''Grezzo 2'' has exploded in popularity in Italy, thanks to its extreme violence, blasphemous humor, and ferocious mock of Italian celebrities, public figures and internet phenomena. Oddly enough, the game got exposure even abroad; many non-Italian youtubers ventured into the game without really understanding what's going on in on it (even LetsPlay/{{Pewdiepie}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH6J29r3tU0 made a gameplay of it]]), with varying reactions from amusement, puzzlement to disgust.
It's hard to summarize the entire content of ''Grezzo 2''. Basically it's a ''Doom'' mod with its resources ripped off the most disparate and numerous sources. Weapons and sprites are taken from '90s FPS such as ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'', ''Videogame/DukeNukem3D'', ''Videogame/RiseOfTheTriad'', or ''Doom'' mod such as ''Videogame/BrutalDoom'' or ''Videogame/RussianOverkill''. Several sprites are taken also from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall'' and ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}''. The soundtrack is even more variegated: Italian pop music, other videogames' soundtrack and much more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgpRXQVnAcY&list=PLBW3-GqA8ZPMqdFymVIMIxNsh-YP6ibkh Here's almost the enitre sountrack]].
Last but not least, the author took a lot of resources from Italian pop and traditional culture, like well-known Italian celebrities, public figures, politicians and religious. Most of the game is filled with offensive humor against the Catholic Church and its representatives, like the Popes, priests, monks and even God and Jesus themselves. Trash culture plays an important role, especially from the internet. One of the most mocked figures inthe game is [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1sVu0wXlVCEyfKIfD0VPZA Matteo Montesi]], an Italian youtuber and ardent Christian believer known for his hundreds of videos where he records himself wandering in the countryside or inside abandoned places and (in a very thick accent of the Marches) expresses his views about religion, conspiracies, aliens, etc.

->''[=Grezzo2=] is a first-person shooter of 1984 (this explains its shitty graphics) reintroduced since 2012 only on Windows systems. It was half-ass made ripping off around various pieces of old videogames like Videogame/DukeNukem, Videogame/{{Doom}}, Videogame/{{Quake}} and Videogame/AgeOfEmpires, all of them stuck into an old and ugly game engine. [=Grezzo2=] is a tribute to the most classic and extreme video game violence, how it used to be when enemies exploded into a thousand red chunks and videogames used to be cheaper, coarser, inappropriate and you could run over grannies on the street, not like fucking today's videogames, lame real war simulations where Iraqis don't bleed even after a shotgun in the teeth and there's no blood. Holy fuck!''
-->-- ''[[http://www.giochipenosi.it/grezzodue-info.html Grezzo 2 description on the official website]]''
''Grezzo 2'' (Full name: ''Grezzo Due - Una Magica Avventura''[[note]]''"Grezzo Two - A Magical Adventure"''[[/note]]) is an Italian total conversion of ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]'', developed by Nicola Piro. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglVuYr0BJg The first trailer was released in february 2012]] preceeded by some video demonstrations; after a demo, the first complete version was released in Christmas the same year. In the summer of 2013, the expansion pack ''Viaggio a Merdjugorje'' ("Trip to Shitjugorje"[[note]]the Italian title is a pun on "merda" (shit) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medjugorje Medjugorje]][[/note]]) was released, and in December of the same year, the final version of ''Grezzo 2'' was released on the occasion of the game's first anniversary.
The creator had always been an avid fan of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and in general of videogames from the '90s (in particular [=FPSs=]) chracterised by gratutious and cheap violence. During his high school days he already made a ''Doom'' mod called ''Grezzo'' ("rough" or "of low quality"), with the original maps but different sounds and spirtes for the enemies. The game was never updated online as it featured too many in-jokes understandable only by him and his friends. He started working on ''Grezzo 2'' with a similar idea in mind, but later thought of updating online hoping it would've been appreciated by some more people.
After the release of the first demo, and thanks to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxHeMoY-RX4 praise received by Parliamo di Videogiochi]] (a well-known Italian channel of videogame reviewers), ''Grezzo 2'' has exploded in popularity in Italy, thanks to its extreme violence, blasphemous humor, and ferocious mock of Italian celebrities, public figures and internet phenomena. Oddly enough, the game got exposure even abroad; many non-Italian youtubers ventured into the game without really understanding what's going on in on it (even LetsPlay/{{Pewdiepie}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH6J29r3tU0 made a gameplay of it]]), with varying reactions from amusement, puzzlement to disgust.
It's hard to summarize the entire content of ''Grezzo 2''. Basically it's a ''Doom'' mod with its resources ripped off the most disparate and numerous sources. Weapons and sprites are taken from '90s FPS such as ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'', ''Videogame/DukeNukem3D'', ''Videogame/RiseOfTheTriad'', or ''Doom'' mod such as ''Videogame/BrutalDoom'' or ''Videogame/RussianOverkill''. Several sprites are taken also from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall'' and ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}''. The soundtrack is even more variegated: Italian pop music, other videogames' soundtrack and much more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgpRXQVnAcY&list=PLBW3-GqA8ZPMqdFymVIMIxNsh-YP6ibkh Here's almost the enitre sountrack]].
Last but not least, the author took a lot of resources from Italian pop and traditional culture, like well-known Italian celebrities, public figures, politicians and religious. Most of the game is filled with offensive humor against the Catholic Church and its representatives, like the Popes, priests, monks and even God and Jesus themselves. Trash culture plays an important role, especially from the internet. One of the most mocked figures inthe game is [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1sVu0wXlVCEyfKIfD0VPZA Matteo Montesi]], an Italian youtuber and ardent Christian believer known for his hundreds of videos where he records himself wandering in the countryside or inside abandoned places and (in a very thick accent of the Marches) expresses his views about religion, conspiracies, aliens, etc.
''Grezzo 2'' can be downloaded [[http://www.giochipenosi.it/ from the official website]].

!!Hit your mouse to scroll through the tropes ''Grezzo 2'' provides examples of:
* HundredPercentCompletion: Parodied. After the end credits, the intermission screen will always show that you have completed the game with 100% of Kills, Items and Secrets, no matter what you actually did along the way.[[note]]That happens because the end credits are actually a map on its own named "Grezzo 2 - Una Magica Avventura" which has no enemy, item nor secret.[[/note]]
* AerosolFlamethrower: Ripped stright off ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'' and works the same exact way. It is called "Deodorante&accendino" ("Deodorant&lighter").
* AwesomeButImpractical: Most weapons in slot 7 are this; the worst offender is surely the "Spaccapianeti" ("Planets breaker"). Even worst, its seconday fire shoots a blast ''immediately''.
* BackFromTheDead: After the first level, you're assaulted and killed in your house; in the following level you have to make your way out of Heaven (and have the choice to either '''kill God''' or run away from him) and return back to earth to have vengeance.
* BigBad: '''Christ Child'''.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The [[InMemoriam memorial]] dedicated to Osvaldo Paniccia in the level "Un magico Natale". Check the Trivia section.
* BlackComedy: For all the black humour against religion, pop culture and politics, perhaps the biggest offender is the black humour related to real episodes of crime news in Italy. There are three deathmatch maps named after three of them.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: Downplayed, but it's not hard to find minor grammatical errors or overly literal translations of Italian curses and expressions that don't make much sense in English.
* BloodKnight: The main character often laughs at, insults or mocks his victims.
* BloodyHilarious: The gore is so gratutious and over the top that it becomes this.
* BottomlessMagazines: Similarly to the original ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'', lots of weapons don't need to be reloaded; other weapons avert this and have to, similarly to ''Videogame/BrutalDoom''.
* CircusOfFear: The level "Brivido. Animali. Emozioni" is supposedly a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moira_Orfei Moira Orfei]]'s circus. In a small labyrinth found in this level, it even plays "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uIksYWaZKA Dark Carnival]]" from ''Blood''.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: In some cases it's possible to walk on lava for a very long time without losing to much life energy, and sometimes it doesn't even hurt at all. In other cases however, it instantly kills you.
* CorruptChurch: The Catholic Church is described in the manual and in a few intermission screens as an evil ad omnipresent organisation, whose purpose is obtaining the world dominance through the subjugation of the believers' mind.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Many taunts and laughs heard when the main character kills someone are heard also when the main character ''is killed''. It just seems that the idea of dying doesn't bother him at all.
* DieChairDie: Scenario objects such as lamps, mirrors, [[Videogame/DukeNukem3D WCs]] or trash bins can be destroyed, sometimes [[RewardingVandalism leaving behind ammo or money]].
* DiscOneNuke: Since there're almost a dozen of weapons for every slot, while some of them are acceptable or mediocre, it is possible, with enough luck, to find yourself starting play with the most powerful weapons.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: The main character's sprite has been taken from ''Billy Ray Jeter'' from ''Videogame/RedneckRampage'', who wears no shoes.
* DummiedOut:
** Several discharged or still-under-construction maps are still found within the game. They can be accessed through the console or in the Multiplayer section.
** If the cheat for obtaining every weapon is used, there will be a slot 0 section containing both discharged weapons that normally can't be found, or the same weapons found in other slots, although with wrong names.
* EldritchAbomination: While many public figures added to the game appear as fearsome and powerful monsters, the most notable examples are surely the popes:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXgOp2XSUQE Pope John Paul II]] appears in a bloody scenario and displays enormous ''tentacles'' which he uses for attacking with plasma beams or ''explosive crucifixes''.
** Pope Francis appears in a reshaped variant of ''Brutal Doom'''s ''Icon of Sin'' with the same skills and attacks. That says it all.
* EnemySummoner: Pope Francis has the ability to spawn armed priests and monks.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Cars can be found scattered in some maps, either as drivable veichles or as non-interactive objects that work the same way as exploding barrels.
* ExcusePlot: [[WordOfGod As explained by the author]], the main character is a pagan peasant, resentful over the rise of Christianity, who goes on a killing spree in an attempt to defend his local religion. Not that it is really brought up in game (or is it really of any importance).
* ExplodingBarrels: They make their comeback from the original ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and work the same way.
* FlippingTheBird: Similarly to ''Videogame/BrutalDoom'', you can press a button to flip off and insult enemies drawing their attention. Or you can just do that to the random portraits scattered around the levels just for the pleasure of disrespect whosoever they are.
* GameMod: ''Grezzo 2'' is fundamentally a total conversion of ''[[Videogame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]'' with pieces and resources ripped off dozens of different videogames.
* {{Gasshole}}: The main character does that often, and there's actually a button for farting and belching.
* GatlingGood: The chaingun from ''Doom'' returns as "Mitraglione".[[note]]roughly "big machinegun"[[/note]] As seconday fire, it fires explosive bullets which consume ammo faster.
** [[UpToEleven There's an even bigger, more powerful variant]] in slot 7 called "Megamitragrosso".[[note]]roughly "mega huge machine gun"[[/note]]
* GlowingEyes: Many foes' eyes glow when they're attacking, like Jesus Christ or Pope Francis.
* {{Gorn}}: ''A lot'' more gory and bloody than the original ''Doom''.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: During a melee combo, the main character pulls out a broken bottle out of nowhere.
** The beer available among the weapons as a power-up can be thrown against enemies.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: A ''very weird'' variation: the main character can '''pull out''' his own left arm, throwing it against enemies. Oddly enough, this never causes damage to the player, and the arm always grows back.
* GunsAkimbo: Some weapons are by default dual wielded and are not necessarily meant to be available singularly. When that's possible, the single weapon and its GunsAkimbo are treated as two different weapons altogether.
* HeartContainer[=/=]HeartsAreHealth: Just as in ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'', killed enemies release literal hearts as health packs, and just as in ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'', they can heal the player up to 200 unlike normal health packs.
* HeroicMime: Averted unlike ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'', as the main character talks during cutscenes. Also, there are two buttons for taunting foes and for simply making the character speak, respectively.
* HitScan: Obviously present, being a mod of ''Doom''.
* HyperspaceArsenal: And its even more glaring considering each slot has dozens of weapons and their total amount is of almost ''a hundred''.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: By purposes and effects identical to ''Doom'''s original, only under different names:
** "Se'n tonto" (''You're a dumb'')
** "Se'n toro" (''You're bull'')
** "Magna la merda" (''Eat shit'')
** "Maglial' che casino" (''What a piggy-fucking mess'')
** "Tu se'l più tonto" (''You're the dumbest'')
* ImprovisedWeapon: Many melee and thrown weapons in the slots 1 and 8 are this, including a [[BatterUp baseball bat]], a [[ShovelStrike shovel]], a [[WrenchWhack wrench]], a [[AnAxeToGrind hatchet]], a [[CrowbarCombatant crowbar]], a pitchfork (from ''Videogame/{{Blood}}''), a [[InstrumentOfMurder mircophone]], a cooler (from ''Videogame/DukeNukem3D''), '''a dildo''', a radio (which kills enemy broadcasting [[MusicalAssassin horrible christian music]]), basketballs and bowling balls.
* LudicrousGibs: Dealing enough damage will make most enemies explode into red splatters; legs and arms can be kicked around the map.
* ManOnFire: Several weapons can be used to set enemies on fire. Oddly enough, the animation and screams of a burning enemy are '''always''' the same, be it a man or a woman, a human, a monster, or an animal.
* MookMaker: The Pain Elemental from ''Freedoom'' appears here with the abilty to spawn aggressive (but very weak) pigs and rabbits.
* MurderSimulators: Surprisingly enough however, despite the excessively inappropriate nature of the game, the author admitted in an interview that he actually received less criticism from MoralGuardians than expected, and that the game went largely beneath their notice. Among the notable exceptions he mentioned were a famous Italian Youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfevWS78BK0 criticizing its gratutious violence]] and a nasty discussion he had with a woman who told him [[WouldHurtAChild she would have crushed his head with her heel as a newborn]].
* NoGearLevel: There are three levels where you begin with none of your weapons:
** When you're assaulted and killed in your house after the first level, and you go to heaven.
** When you get arrested at the end of the "Ipercoop" level, and in the following level "Lu carcere è galera" you are in prison.
** After you defeated Pope Francis in "Habemus Papam", in the following level "Urban Live Music Club" you start only with a beer; you can't even attack with your bare hands.
* OffWithHisHead: The game features ''Axe Zombies'' ripped off ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'' who behave in the same exact manner: it is possible they get decapitated when killed and the player can [[SeveredHeadSports kick their head around the room]].
** This may happen as well to other players during deathmatches.
* OminousLatinChanting: The boss level against Pope Francis has this as soundtrack, which turns into a OrchestralBombing once he reveals himself.
* PowerUpFood: The standard medikits from ''Doom'' have been replaced by (often typically Italian) food, such as gnocchi, spaghetti, pork sandwiches, salt cakes, etc...
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: With some extensive usage of all the weapons you can carry, you will be able to paint the walls and the floor a very thick coat of red.
* PlasmaCannon: There are two variant of it: "Supercannonelaser" ("Super laser cannon") and "Megacannone" ("Mega cannon").
* PrisonEpisode: You get arrested at the end of the "Ipercoop" level and sent into prison. In the following level "Lu carcere è galera" you start with none of your weapons and have to make your way out.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: The special ability in slot 1 "Superbotteecazzotti" ("Superfightandpunches") unleashes the [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]].
* SecondaryFire: Almost every weapon has one, such as a zoom function, a more powerful attack using more ammunitions or special attack using different ammunitions. A few weapons have also a tertiary fire attack.
* SelfHarm:
** At the beginning of the second level, [[ForTheLulz you're given a hammer for no reason ]] but to [[GroinAttack hit your own balls]] and inflicting yourself damage.
** You have a dildo as blunt weapon that can be used to inflict self-harm through its SecondaryFire.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Despite the whole game being all about blasphemy, gore and bloodsplatter, the soundtrack is usually made up from the most disparate sources, from Italian pop music, to soundtracks of other videogames and church songs (these are the most notable examples). A few tracks belong to either the Metal-like theme of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' or the more horror theme of ''Videogame/{{Blood}}''.
* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity:
** The map "La giornata mondiale della gioventù" ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Youth_Day "World Youth Day"]]) where the player has to face ''hundreds'' of foes coming in separate waves. Even if you started with none of your weapons, there's enough of weapons and ammo to build up a good inventory.
** The level "Habemus Papam" begins in a hall where you can collect ammo and a few weapons before facing Pope Francis.
* TankGoodness: The tank in map "E45" makes the level a lot more easier (and more satisfying) to complete.
* TakeThat: To most real persons added in the game; in particular, the author admitted to be satisfied with having added Berlusconi as a helpless prisoner.
* ThoseWackyNazis:
** Nazi soldiers can be found in some levels. Unlike those from VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} or the secret levels of [[Videogame/{{Doom}} Doom II]], they don't yell [[GratuitousGerman random curses and threads in German]]; their voices are taken from a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mG8u3su4Ko mixed German-Italian song]].
** Random portaits of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini are found scattered in some maps.
* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: The "Scacciacani"[[note]]Italian word for a gun loaded with blanks[[/note]] handgun is so terribly weak it's actually a bit more useful if thrown against enemies through the SecondaryFire; that's exactly what's suggested on the game's manual.
* UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000: ''Grezzo 2'' is intended to be a tribute to old-school, gratutious and unpretentious video game violence. As some commenters put it, ''Grezzo 2'' is what MoralGuardians think all video games look like.
* UniversalAmmunition: Mostly it follows the same logic as ''Doom'': shared ammo for pistols (slot 2) and rifles (slot 4), for all shotguns (slot 3), for rocket launchers (slot 5) and for weapons in slot 6 and 7. But there are many exceptions of weapons using their own ammo that can be found only when grabbing another of that weapon or the generic ammo backpack, or of weapons using different ammo for their secondary attack.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Not only you are allowed to slaughter masses of innocent civilians and bystanders in every way you please: killing them often rewards you with cash or health points.
* VillainProtagonist: The main character enjoys slaughtering and butchering innocent civilians and bystanders just as he does with the armies of armed priests, zombies, or monster.
* VoodooDoll: Another weapon ripped stright off ''Blood'' and working the same way. The only difference is that it doesn't hurt the player when it is used without enemies around. It is called "Bucciottolanciaparalisi" ("Paralysis-sending-puppet").
* VulgarHumor: Tons of it, from ToiletHumor, gratutious curses and blasphemy to explicit sexual references and images.

* HeroicMime: Averted unlike ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'', as the main character talks during cutscenes. Also, there are two buttons for taunting foes and for simply making the character speak, respectively.
* HitScan: Obviously present, being a mod of ''Doom''.
* HyperspaceArsenal: And its even more glaring considering each slot has dozens of weapons and their total amount is of almost ''a hundred''.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: By purposes and effects identical to ''Doom'''s original, only under different names:
** "Se'n tonto" (''You're a dumb'')
** "Se'n toro" (''You're bull'')
** "Magna la merda" (''Eat shit'')
** "Maglial' che casino" (''What a piggy-fucking mess'')
** "Tu se'l più tonto" (''You're the dumbest'')
* ImprovisedWeapon: Many melee and thrown weapons in the slots 1 and 8 are this, including a [[BatterUp baseball bat]], a [[ShovelStrike shovel]], a [[WrenchWhack wrench]], a [[AnAxeToGrind hatchet]], a [[CrowbarCombatant crowbar]], a pitchfork (from ''Videogame/{{Blood}}''), a [[InstrumentOfMurder mircophone]], a cooler (from ''Videogame/DukeNukem3D''), '''a dildo''', a radio (which kills enemy broadcasting [[MusicalAssassin horrible christian music]]), basketballs and bowling balls.
* LudicrousGibs: Dealing enough damage will make most enemies explode into red splatters; legs and arms can be kicked around the map.
* ManOnFire: Several weapons can be used to set enemies on fire. Oddly enough, the animation and screams of a burning enemy are '''always''' the same, be it a man or a woman, a human, a monster, or an animal.
* MookMaker: The Pain Elemental from ''Freedoom'' appears here with the abilty to spawn aggressive (but very weak) pigs and rabbits.
* MurderSimulators: Surprisingly enough however, despite the excessively inappropriate nature of the game, the author admitted in an interview that he actually received less criticism from MoralGuardians than expected, and that the game went largely beneath their notice. Among the notable exceptions he mentioned were a famous Italian Youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfevWS78BK0 criticizing its gratutious violence]] and a nasty discussion he had with a woman who told him [[WouldHurtAChild she would have crushed his head with her heel as a newborn]].
* NoGearLevel: There are three levels where you begin with none of your weapons:
** When you're assaulted and killed in your house after the first level, and you go to heaven.
** When you get arrested at the end of the "Ipercoop" level, and in the following level "Lu carcere è galera" you are in prison.
** After you defeated Pope Francis in "Habemus Papam", in the following level "Urban Live Music Club" you start only with a beer; you can't even attack with your bare hands.
* OffWithHisHead: The game features ''Axe Zombies'' ripped off ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'' who behave in the same exact manner: it is possible they get decapitated when killed and the player can [[SeveredHeadSports kick their head around the room]].
** This may happen as well to other players during deathmatches.
* OminousLatinChanting: The boss level against Pope Francis has this as soundtrack, which turns into a OrchestralBombing once he reveals himself.
* PowerUpFood: The standard medikits from ''Doom'' have been replaced by (often typically Italian) food, such as gnocchi, spaghetti, pork sandwiches, salt cakes, etc...
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: With some extensive usage of all the weapons you can carry, you will be able to paint the walls and the floor a very thick coat of red.
* PlasmaCannon: There are two variant of it: "Supercannonelaser" ("Super laser cannon") and "Megacannone" ("Mega cannon").
* PrisonEpisode: You get arrested at the end of the "Ipercoop" level and sent into prison. In the following level "Lu carcere è galera" you start with none of your weapons and have to make your way out.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: The special ability in slot 1 "Superbotteecazzotti" ("Superfightandpunches") unleashes the [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]].
* SecondaryFire: Almost every weapon has one, such as a zoom function, a more powerful attack using more ammunitions or special attack using different ammunitions. A few weapons have also a tertiary fire attack.
* SelfHarm:
** At the beginning of the second level, [[ForTheLulz you're given a hammer for no reason ]] but to [[GroinAttack hit your own balls]] and inflicting yourself damage.
** You have a dildo as blunt weapon that can be used to inflict self-harm through its SecondaryFire.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Despite the whole game being all about blasphemy, gore and bloodsplatter, the soundtrack is usually made up from the most disparate sources, from Italian pop music, to soundtracks of other videogames and church songs (these are the most notable examples). A few tracks belong to either the Metal-like theme of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' or the more horror theme of ''Videogame/{{Blood}}''.
* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity:
** The map "La giornata mondiale della gioventù" ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Youth_Day "World Youth Day"]]) where the player has to face ''hundreds'' of foes coming in separate waves. Even if you started with none of your weapons, there's enough of weapons and ammo to build up a good inventory.
** The level "Habemus Papam" begins in a hall where you can collect ammo and a few weapons before facing Pope Francis.
* TankGoodness: The tank in map "E45" makes the level a lot more easier (and more satisfying) to complete.
* TakeThat: To most real persons added in the game; in particular, the author admitted to be satisfied with having added Berlusconi as a helpless prisoner.
* ThoseWackyNazis:
** Nazi soldiers can be found in some levels. Unlike those from VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} or the secret levels of [[Videogame/{{Doom}} Doom II]], they don't yell [[GratuitousGerman random curses and threads in German]]; their voices are taken from a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mG8u3su4Ko mixed German-Italian song]].
** Random portaits of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini are found scattered in some maps.
* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: The "Scacciacani"[[note]]Italian word for a gun loaded with blanks[[/note]] handgun is so terribly weak it's actually a bit more useful if thrown against enemies through the SecondaryFire; that's exactly what's suggested on the game's manual.
* UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000: ''Grezzo 2'' is intended to be a tribute to old-school, gratutious and unpretentious video game violence. As some commenters put it, ''Grezzo 2'' is what MoralGuardians think all video games look like.
* UniversalAmmunition: Mostly it follows the same logic as ''Doom'': shared ammo for pistols (slot 2) and rifles (slot 4), for all shotguns (slot 3), for rocket launchers (slot 5) and for weapons in slot 6 and 7. But there are many exceptions of weapons using their own ammo that can be found only when grabbing another of that weapon or the generic ammo backpack, or of weapons using different ammo for their secondary attack.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Not only you are allowed to slaughter masses of innocent civilians and bystanders in every way you please: killing them often rewards you with cash or health points.
* VillainProtagonist: The main character enjoys slaughtering and butchering innocent civilians and bystanders just as he does with the armies of armed priests, zombies, or monster.
* VoodooDoll: Another weapon ripped stright off ''Blood'' and working the same way. The only difference is that it doesn't hurt the player when it is used without enemies around. It is called "Bucciottolanciaparalisi" ("Paralysis-sending-puppet").
* VulgarHumor: Tons of it, from ToiletHumor, gratutious curses and blasphemy to explicit sexual references and images.
