Grezzo 2

Grezzo 2 (Full name: Grezzo Due - Una Magica Avventura.) - italian total conversion megawad, developed by Karashow metal band member, Nicola Piro fall 2013. Its commonly known because of its blasphemous and offensive content.

Gameplay
Much like Aeons Of Death, Grezzo 2 takes stuff from other doomwads, 2.5d games and other sources, including (but not reduced to) Blood, Shadow Warrior, Brutal Doom, Nashgore, both Action Dooms and many more. The game is relatively easy, but sometimes gets almost impossible to beat without cheats. Throuought the game, player will encounter references to italian popculture and scandals, political satire, many offensive and blasphemous imagery, mainly towards catholic church, and various people associated with it, such as the polish pope John Paul II, Jesus Christ and Father Pio. Medikits are replaced with gnocchi, cake and other types of italian food, weapons are either "normal" or overpowered, being copy-pasted from other Doom mods (Such as Russian Overkill). Gore system is also taken straight out of Brutal Doom with some gib graphics changed. The same thing applies to the maps, which are maps from other mods and games, like Armagedoom, Duke Nukem Carribean: Life's a Beach or ZBlood, with changed textures. Textures however are poorly chosen and misaligned in many places. Mod uses 3D models, such as palmtrees, streetlamps, etc. In one of the earliest screenshots of Grezzo 2, a 3D enemy is seen, however in the public release version, 3D enemies are absent. Enemies which go from civilians to giant floating Father Pio heads are swearing and throwing around blasphemy such as "Porco Dio" (God is a pig). The mod also uses music from various intalian compositors, heavy metal, religious song remixes and other mp3's. Some of texturing in this mod contains swastikas, Jesus images, pornography and nudity. Grezzo also makes various references to Super Mario game series.

Reception
Mod was well recieved by gamers, spawning one song by Chiappoiders and caused controversy in Italy, mainly because of it's offensive nature, and portrayal of Father Pio, which is one of the most beloved saints in Italy. It recieved a mixed responce on Doomworld, when it was discovered that 90% of the game is copied from other works. Grezzo 2 is commonly known as the "World's most offensive game". Some famous let's players such as CinnamonToastKen did let's plays of it.

Re-releases and DLC's
First version of Grezzo 2 was released in 2012, but never recieved big populatiry. The 2013 update however got mainstream attention, and Grezzo became popular. Grezzo's only DLC was released in 2014, called Viaggio A Merdjugorie (Trip to Sh*tjugorie), where you vistit Ipercoop shop, beach, desert and fight with John Paul II. Later you enter Virgin Mary's vagina, and kill Jesus in her womb. As said in Nicola's FAQ, there was Grezzo 1. It was a wad, which changes graphics of enemies, sounds and music made by Nicola in college. It is, however, not able to download.
