3->''[=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!''

6''Grezzo 2'' (Full name: ''Grezzo Due - Una Magica Avventura''[[note]]''"Grezzo Two - A Magical Adventure"''[[/note]]) is an Italian total conversion of ''VideoGame/DoomII'', developed by Nicola Piro. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglVuYr0BJg The first trailer was released in February 2012]] preceded 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. It can be downloaded [[http://www.giochipenosi.it/ from the official website]].

8The creator had always been an avid fan of ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and in general of video games from the '90s (in particular [=FPSes=]) characterized by gratuitous and cheap violence. During his high school days he already made a ''Doom'' mod called ''Grezzo'' ("rough", "crude", or "of low quality"), with the original maps but different sounds and sprites for the enemies. The game was never uploaded 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 putting it online, hoping it would've been appreciated by some more people.
9
10After the release of the first demo, ''Grezzo 2'' exploded in popularity in Italian netizens, thanks to its extreme violence, blasphemous humor, and ferocious mocking of Italian celebrities, public figures and internet phenomena. Eventually, the game received additional exposure outside Italy; 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 showed it off]]), with varying reactions from amusement and puzzlement to disgust.
11
12It's hard to summarize the entire content of ''Grezzo 2''. Basically it's a ''Doom'' mod with its resources ripped off from the most disparate and numerous sources. Weapons and sprites are taken from '90s FPS such as ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'', ''Videogame/DukeNukem3D'', ''Videogame/RiseOfTheTriad'', or other ''Doom'' mods such as ''Videogame/BrutalDoom'' and ''Videogame/RussianOverkill''. Several sprites are also taken from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall'' and ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}''. The soundtrack is even more varied: Italian pop music, other video games' soundtracks, and much more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgpRXQVnAcY&list=PLBW3-GqA8ZPMqdFymVIMIxNsh-YP6ibkh Here's almost the entire soundtrack.]]
13
14Last 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 figures. 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.

16In 2018, [[https://www.facebook.com/grezzo2official/photos/a.392113977479140/1845684748788715/?type=3 the author announced a sequel]], ''[=GrezzoDue2=]'' ("[[SequelNumberSnarl [=GrezzoTwo2=]]]"), that unlike its previous entry, uses original content, real life people scanned with green screen, CG animations and settings made by them, and more vulgarity. The full version released on the 22nd of December of 2023, and is avaible to download on the team Itch.io page.

19----
20!!Hit your mouse to scroll through the tropes ''Grezzo 2'' provides examples of:
21* 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]]
22* AerosolFlamethrower: Ripped stright off ''Videogame/{{Blood}}'' and works the same exact way. It is called "Deodorante&accendino" ("Deodorant&lighter").
23* AllThereInTheManual: The game manual describes the absurd background stories and informations of some enemies and weapons too. They're clearly JustForFun and have no actual importance whatsoever.
24* AmusementPark: "L'acquafun di Padre Pio" includes countless portraits and statues of Padre Pio, loudspeakers transmitting Christian music and propaganda, all textures of water replaced by ''mud'', hundreds of employers-{{Mooks}} trying to kill you and hundreds of visitors to slaughter. And of course, dozens of aquatic games.
25* 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''.
26* AxesAtSchool: The tutorial level "A scola" takes place in a school. You're free to exterminate your schoolmates and your teachers, then leave the school and begin the Story mode whenever you like.
27* 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.
28* BeachEpisode: The expansion "Viaggio a Merdjugorje" is such, being released in summer. Specifically the namesake map takes place in a seaside resort and has a [[PlatformGame platform moment]] with surfboards. "L'acquafun di Padre Pio" instead is a water park.
29* BigBad: '''Christ Child'''.
30* 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.
31* BlindIdiotTranslation: An English translation was made after the game received an unusual amount of non-Italian fans. It's not terrible, 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.
32* BloodKnight: The main character often laughs at, insults or mocks his victims.
33* BloodyHilarious: The gore is so gratutious and over the top that it becomes this.
34* 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''.
35* BuildLikeAnEgyptian: The MiniBoss map "L'angolo di Roberto" is a pseudo Ancient Egyptian crypt, with hieroglyphs representing Roberto Da Cream himself.
36* CharacterTitle: [[WordOfGod The author]] intended the main character to really have as name "[=Grezzo2=]". This, however, is ultimately never mentioned in-game, nor by the manual.
37* ChristmasEpisode: "Un magico Natale" ends the fist part of ''Grezzo 2''; it was added in the first complete version of the game, released in fact at Christmas. It's a free-roaming level and you are free to wreak havoc around Perugia, go to the BonusStage DrivingGame or commemorate the late Osvaldo Paniccia. There's a bus waiting for you to get you to the following level, as soon as you grow bored enough.
38* ChurchMilitant: The main antagonist is an absurdly violent and armed to the teeth Catholic Church. Its {{Mooks}} are priests armed with shotguns or with the ability to summon harmful crucifixes. Its EliteMooks are archangels and ''flying heads of Padre Pio''. At the top of such hierarchy stand, unsurprisingly, the popes, Jesus Christ and God himself.
39* 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''.
40* 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.
41* CorruptChurch: The Catholic Church is described in the manual and in a few intermission screens as an evil and omnipresent organisation, whose purpose is obtaining world domination through the subjugation of the believers' minds.
42* CreatorCameo: The first complete version of ''Grezzo 2'' ended with the creator himself calling you on the phone, informing you that the game is over and you could as well kill yourself. Literally, you're given a knife which you can use to commit suicide and have the game start anew. From the Heaven level, aptly.
43* CreatorProvincialism: The author hails from Perugia (capital city of Umbria, in central Italy), and it shows. The main menu and certain popups are written in Umbrian dialect (which is rather similar to standard Italian). Many characters, including the protagonist, speak with a thick Umbrian accent. Also a free-roaming takes place (allegedly) in Perugia, including stands for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroChocolate Eurochocolate]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbria_Jazz_Festival Umbria Jazz Festival]].
44* DarkWorld: A particular variant. At the beginning of the game, when you enter and when you leave Heaven, you pass through a [[GoIntoTheLight corridor of white light]] with a relaxing and peaceful tune. When at the end of the game you take your drugs to enter the BossRoom, the corridor is made of [[HumanArchitectureHorror human flesh]] and, at the end of it, stands an enormous ''vagina''.
45* 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.
46* DieChairDie: Scenario objects such as lamps, mirrors, [[Videogame/DukeNukem3D WCs]] or trash bins can be destroyed, sometimes [[RewardingVandalism leaving behind ammo or money]].
47* 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.
48* DrivingGame: "Le corse co le machine" is a bonus level accessible from "Un magico natale". You have to complete the racing circuit in a limited amount of time, that is regained at every checkpoint, and with at least 3000 points, which are gained by running over enemies on the road.
49* DrowningMySorrows: At the end of the main story, since the crusade/killing spree against the Church failed miserably, the protagonist decides to waste himself in a pub. Unsurprisingly, his adventures don't end there.
50* EldritchAbomination: While many public figures added to the game appear as fearsome and powerful monsters, the most notable examples are surely the popes:
51** [[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''.
52** Pope Francis appears in a reshaped variant of ''Brutal Doom'''s ''Icon of Sin'' with the same skills and attacks. That says it all.
53* EnemySummoner: Pope Francis has the ability to spawn armed priests and monks.
54* 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.
55* EvilHero: There are ''zero'' redeeming qualities about the main character, being a vulgar, cruel, depraved, sadistic, unhinged, and unstable psychopath who engages in rape, cannibalism, mutilation, slaughter of innocent civilians, and unashamed blasphemy. [[RefugeInAudacity All played for laughs]].
56* 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).
57* ExplodingBarrels: They make their comeback from the original ''Videogame/{{Doom}}'' and work the same way.
58* ExploitationFilm: The video game prides itself off its violent, gory, sexually-charged and blasphemous content.
59* FissionMailed: After the first level you're suddenly assaulted at home. As you try to leave your house, your character suddenly dies right on spot. Luckily it's just a scripted event: the following level takes place, in fact, in heaven.
60* 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.
61* FullBoarAction: A ''very'' dangerous wildlife animal is an enormous boar blowing fire. Amusingly, when it attacks and when it dies, it screams and cries like a human.
62* GameBreakingBug:
63** The simple act of giving a kick while holding the Lanciaratzingher ''crashes'' the game. Then only way out is forcibly shutting ''Grezzo 2'' off, then restart it.
64** The highest difficulty setting enforces neverending respawn for enemies, which wouldn't be a problem for a skilled player... except in "Livelli a cazzo" ("Fucking random levels"). It consists of arena fights where the player faces hundreds of enemies arriving in separate waves, each one starting only when ''all'' the enemies from the previous one are killed. As expected, choosing "Fucking random levels" with highest difficulty makes it impossible to make it beyond the first wave, as there's always an enemy spawning when the last one is dead.
65** Deathmatch Maps have a 15 minutes timer: if no player gets 20 points before the time expires, the victory is assigned to the player with the highest score. For reasons unknown however, if the player first plays a Deathmatch, that 15 timer sticks for any other play mode they choose afterwards, even where it's not intended to be present. In story mode this translates in every level being automatically ''won'' if not completed within the time limit. This doesn't make the game ''unwinnable'', but surely makes it less enjoyable. Even there, the only solution seems to shut down and restart the game.
66* GameMod: ''Grezzo 2'' is fundamentally a total conversion of ''VideoGame/DoomII'' with pieces and resources ripped off dozens of different video games.
67* {{Gasshole}}: The main character does that often, and there's actually a button for farting and belching.
68* GatlingGood:
69** The chaingun from ''Doom'' returns as "Mitraglione".[[note]]roughly "big machinegun"[[/note]] As seconday fire, it fires explosive bullets which consume ammo faster.
70** There's an even bigger, more powerful variant in slot 7 called "Megamitragrosso".[[note]]roughly "mega huge machine gun"[[/note]]
71* GlowingEyes: Many foes' eyes glow when they're attacking, like Jesus Christ or Pope Francis.
72* GoombaStomp: It is possible to hurt enemies by walking on the, and the weakest ones die in relatively short time.
73* {{Gorn}}: ''A lot'' more gory and bloody than the original ''Doom''.
74* GrievousBottleyHarm:
75** During a melee combo, the main character pulls out a broken bottle out of nowhere.
76** The beer available among the weapons as a power-up can be thrown against enemies.
77* 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.
78* GrumpyOldMan: Hordes of old men and women are ''ubiquitous''. They may well be the most numerous foes in the game. Very weak individually, their strength lies in swarming the main character and hit with melee attacks.
79* 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.
80* GunsInChurch: The very first level, "Santa Messa" (''Holy Mass''), and "Quant'è bella la cappella" (''The chapel is so beautiful'', but [[DoubleEntendre it needs reminding that "cappella" can also refer to the glans of a penis]]).
81* 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.
82* {{Heaven}}: Where you go after you're murdered in your own house. Of course, you have no intention of staying there.
83* 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.
84* {{Hitscan}}: Obviously present, being a mod of ''Doom''.
85* HyperspaceArsenal: And its even more glaring considering each slot has dozens of weapons and their total amount is of almost ''a hundred''.
86* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: By purposes and effects identical to ''Doom'''s original, only under different names:
87** "Se'n tonto" (''You're a dumbass'')
88** "Se'n toro" (''You're bull'')
89** "Magna la merda" (''Eat shit'')
90** "Maglial' che casino" (''What a piggy-fucking mess'')
91** "Tu se'l più tonto" (''You're the dumbest'')
92* 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 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.
93* KillTheGod: Not once, '''three times''':
94** In the very first level, "Santa Messa" ("Holy Mass"), once you're done killing all the participants, Jesus on a cross gains consciousness, and you'll have to fight him to finish the level.
95** In Heaven, God stands at the top of the mountain, judging the souls coming before him. You can simply avoid him, or kill him, then proceed to the next level.
96** Finally, Christ Child, who is the BigBad of the game.
97* LudicrousGibs: Dealing enough damage will make most enemies explode into red splatters; legs and arms can be kicked around the map.
98* MagicStaff: The "Bastignatore"/"Bastone Bestemmiatore" ("Blasphemer"/"Blasphemic Staff"). It has the same sprite of the Life Leech from ''Blood''. It can shoot a volley of explosive crosses, or release a radial blast. All while shouting a [[https://youtu.be/gC7LMx9tNKk?t=33 powerful blasphemic curse]].
99* TheMall: The level "Ipercoop".
100* 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.
101* MookMaker: The Pain Elemental from ''Freedoom'' appears here with the abilty to spawn aggressive (but very weak) pigs and rabbits.
102* 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]].
103* NeverTrustATrailer: {{Invoked}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglVuYr0BJg Both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asCGbVx5XJk trailers]] of ''Grezzo 2'' show right away a [[MediaNotes/PanEuropeanGameInformation PEGI 3]] rating; no one is obviously gonna be fooled by that.
104* NightOfTheLivingMooks: "Emilio Fede contro i zombi" ("Emilio Fede against zombies") is a reenactment of the famous first level of ''Blood'', "Cradle to Grave". The main character comes out of his grave and has to fight his way through hordes of zombies and mutated animals.
105* NobodyPoops: {{Inverted}} and PlayedForLaughs: in "Viaggio a Mergjugorje" you're told at a certain point that your character needs desperately to pee, and you aren't allowed to finish the level unless you take him to the bathroom first. A quick FadeToBlack together with the sound of a leak and you're good to go.
106* NoGearLevel: There are three levels where you begin with none of your weapons:
107** When you're assaulted and killed in your house after the first level, and you go to heaven.
108** When you get arrested at the end of the "Ipercoop" level, and in the following level "Lu carcere è galera" you are in prison.
109** 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.
110* OffWithHisHead:
111** 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]].
112** This may happen as well to other players during deathmatches.
113* OminousLatinChanting: The boss level against Pope Francis has this as soundtrack, which turns into a OrchestralBombing once he reveals himself.
114* 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.
115* PersonOfMassDestruction: The protagonist is an example up to eleven as he kills not only the entire humankind, but also Jesus and God.
116* PlasmaCannon: There are two variant of it: "Supercannonelaser" ("Super laser cannon") and "Megacannone" ("Mega cannon").
117* PlayableMenu: When you select "Giochi Senza Frontiere" ("Games without borders") you're brought in a large hall, filled with blood and unarmed [=NPCs=]. From there, you can choose the deathmatch map you want to play by entering the proper gateway.
118* PowerUpFood: The standard medikits from ''Doom'' have been replaced by typical Italian food, such as gnocchi, spaghetti, pork sandwiches, salt cakes, etc...
119* 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.
120* RapidFireFisticuffs: The special ability in slot 1 "Superbotteecazzotti" ("Superfightandpunches") unleashes the [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]].
121* ReligionOfEvil: The Catholic Church, from ''God and Jesus themselves'', to the popes and the entire underlying church hierarchy are the main antagonists of the game.
122* RunawayTrain: In "Minimetro", the pilot of the train is suddenly killed in his cabin; you have [[TimedMission 5 minutes]] to run quickly to the back of the train, take the key to the cabin and put the brakes on before the train crashes.
123* ScaryBlackMan: Gangs of black thugs are frequently encountered during the game. Most of them are armed with knives and submachine guns, but a peculiar variant is a ''modified Imp'' from ''Doom'' looking like ''a shirtless black throwing basketballs''.
124* 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.
125* SelfHarm:
126** At the beginning of the second level, [[RuleOfFunny you're given a hammer for no reason ]] but to [[GroinAttack hit your own balls]] and inflict damage on yourself.
127** You have a dildo as a blunt weapon that can be used to inflict self-harm through its SecondaryFire.
128* SkippableBoss: In Heaven you're free to flee from God and go immediately to the exit gates.
129* 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 video games 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}}''. There's also a few songs from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'''s original Japanese soundtrack.
130* SpreeKiller: The protagonist. He's outraged by the Catholic Church trying to repress his personal pagan cult, so he decides to go on a killing spree.
131* StylisticSuck: Poorly edited or inserted textures and sprite, contrasting styles of resources taken from completely different sources, numerous minor graphical glitches, inaccessible areas left in the map that make it impossible to complete some levels with 100% score. In most cases they were made by the author on purpose and, if not, were simply acknowledged and left there.
132* SuicideAttack: Explosive and ''very'' fast running bears are spawned in some occasions.
133* SuperWheelChair: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulio_Andreotti Giulio Andreotti]] appears in the game sitting on one of these. On a few occasion he's an idle LivingProp. When he behaves like an actual enemy, he moves ''fast'', shoots laser and ''very'' powerful rockets.
134* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity:
135** 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.
136** The level "Habemus Papam" begins in a hall where you can collect ammo and a few weapons before facing Pope Francis.
137* TalkShowWithFists: The deathmatch map "Tutti i colori della cronaca" is a television studio. It's also the smallest deathmatch map, having room only for two players.
138* TankGoodness: The tank in map "E45" makes the level a lot easier (and more satisfying) to complete.
139* 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.
140* TemporaryPlatform: In "Viaggio a Merdjugorje" the player has to reach Merdjugorje with several surfboards which randomly sink and resurface, sometimes bringing {{Mooks}} to kill along. Falling into the water is a OneHitKill.
141* ThoseWackyNazis:
142** Nazi soldiers can be found in some levels. Unlike those from ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' or the secret levels of ''VideoGame/DoomII'', 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.]]
143** Random portaits of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini are found scattered in some maps.
144* 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.
145* TimedMission: In "Minimetro" you only have 5 minutes to access the pilot cabin and put the brakes on before the train crashes.
146* TimeTravelEpisode: "A spasso nel tempo" ("A ride in time") is an arena map putting the protagonist against hordes of medieval knights, archers and lords.
147* TyopOnTheCover: Seen in the image above. "Avventura" should be written with only one "N".
148* UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000: ''Grezzo 2'' is intended to be a tribute to old-school, gratuitous and unpretentious video game violence. As some commenters put it, ''Grezzo 2'' is what MoralGuardians think all video games look like.
149* UnInstallment: Subverted. The game was immediately released as ''Grezzo 2'' without any further explanation of a supposed "Grezzo 1". As explained above however, the author later revealed that a "Grezzo 1" actually existed.
150* 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.
151* VacationEpisode: The level "Viaggio a Merdjugorje" from the namesake expansion. It's supposed to take place in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Medjugorje Medjugorje, a notorious place of pilgrimage]], but it really is a summer resort with random catholic images scattered around.
152* 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.
153* VillainProtagonist: The main character enjoys slaughtering and butchering innocent civilians and bystanders just as he does with the armies of armed priests, zombies, or monsters.
154* 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").
155* VulgarHumor: Tons of it, from ToiletHumor to gratuitous curses and blasphemy to explicit sexual references and images.
156* WantedMeter: In "Porcodio a Perugia" there's a 4-star wanted meter identical to the one from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'': a single star calls the attention of police alone, two stars bring in the military, 3 stars summon ''[[KillerRobot killer robots]]'' and 4 stars cause ''an alien invasion''.
157* WarElephants: Among the dangerous wildlife, the elephant takes the cake: it has two legs, [[{{Cyclops}} a single eye]], and attacks with ''missles'' or, if they get close enough, headbutts. It talks like a retarded human, really saying "Missile!" ("missle!", of course) when it attacks, and whining childishly when it dies.
158* WarmupBoss: Jesus Christ in the very first level, "Santa Messa".
159* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: {{Subverted}} and {{Parodied}}. After the defeat of Pope Francis, a montage narrates how humanity, finally free from the chains of religion, could rebuild the world and usher in a golden age of scientific discovery and technological prosperity, going as far as [[ColonizedSolarSystem conquering the space]]... except "it's all bullshit": humanity actually immediately missed the Pope and his dominion, to the point of cloning him right after his demise. The world remains under the yoke of the Catholic Church, making the protagonist's accomplished killing spree [[AllForNothing absolutely pointless]].
