("Awful Games"note ) is... an Italian video game developer.In reality, it's just some guys making game mods in their spare time.
The team published their first video game, the Bloodier and Gorier and overly inappropriate Doom total conversion Grezzo 2, in 2012. Back then the team had no name for themselves. They chose one (and a logo) when in 2016 they released their second game, SUPER Botte&Bamba 2 Turbo, a M.U.G.E.N Fighting Game (whose title is based on Street Fighter II Turbo) pitting against each other Italian TV characters.
They're currently working on a sequel of Grezzo 2, GrezzoDue2 ("GrezzoTwo2").
What can you expect from their games? Massive Gorn, Ludicrous Gibs, Black Humor, Vulgar Humor, endless references to the Italian pop culture and homages to The '90s' video games. Unsurprisingly, their video games reached a memetic status among Italian netizens. More surprisingly, they also have a discrete non-Italian fanbase, despite the sheer amount of humor that is Lost in Translation for non-Italians.
