Grezzo 2

Released2012
Grezzo 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Italian game designer Nicola Piro and released in 2012. The game is a total conversion modification of the 1993 video game Doom and its development began in the early 2000s, with the version called Grezzo 1, when Nicola Piro attended high school. The plot follows the adventure of pagan farmer Piro which, annoyed and disgusted by Christianity, plans to kill Jesus Christ to prevent the rise of his religious phenomenon. Gameplay requires the player to face various levels, defeating enemies and bosses and using a wide range of weapons. Many well-known personalities of the culture of Italy appear in the game, as well as references to extremely satirized social, political and religious issues of the country. Following the 2012 release, Grezzo 2 received significant attention, both inside and outside of its country of origin, due to its extremely blasphemous, vulgar and violent content.

About This Game

Piro is a pagan farmer from Perugia, Italy, driven to violence by the rise of Christianity. His rampage begins at the church hosting his grandparents' silver wedding anniversary. Killed shortly afterward, Piro is judged in the afterlife by a foul-mouthed, short-tempered God — and depending on the player's choices, either fights and kills Him or finds a way to escape. Back on Earth, Piro devises a plan to prevent Christianity from ever existing by traveling back in time and killing Jesus before the religion can take root. Grezzo 2 is one of the most deliberately and aggressively blasphemous video games in Italian gaming history.
