    Doomguy, Max Payne, and John Wick had a threesome. Subject 106 was born. Trepang^2 is pure violence.

    Thoughts-
    Trepang2 doesn’t really do much to tell you what’s going on around its world aside from descriptions of high-value targets and a few text logs, but the important thing is that the game is so damn fun that you won’t really care about the story. Playing especially on the harder difficulties highlights some clever enemy AI and forces you to use just about every option in your arsenal, and the fact that the game allows you to toss a grenade in slow motion and shoot it in the air to cause a massive explosion should really be all you need to know to learn whether you’ll enjoy Trepang2 or not. Pair this with a fun synth-heavy soundtrack, and a fair bit of emphasis on replayability with its various high-value targets, and you have a shooter that can deliver a pretty good time.    … Expand

    Best indie game ever, much better than many AAA releases, if you love F.E.A.R. or slowmo action in general this title is definitely a must, the campaign isn't very long but there's much replay value in the form of unlockables and cheats.

    After playing for a while now I can say that this is some seriously addictive s***. I haven't enjoyed fps this much in ages. Shooters are suddenly fun again!

Shooters are suddenly fun again! We are really getting to the point where small independent developers are producing games that are better than many AAA studios.

    Gameplay is king in Trepang2. I'm seriously impressed a small indie team was able to create a shooter with gameplay that measures up to some of the best-feeling shooters I've played like Halo Infinite, DOOM Eternal, and Titanfall 2.

    This game feels so much like FEAR & FEAR 2 which is such a great thing. I love the FPS action, the gore, and the cool, creepy, sci-fi story. This game is over the top in the best way. The AI is intelligent like classic FEAR as well. If you loved those games you will love this.

    Immersing myself in the world of Trepang 2, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the familiar sensations reminiscent of the iconic F.E.A.R. series. It's an absolute thrill that the developers have managed to capture that same electrifying essence. Their remarkable work deserves nothing less than awe and applause.

    High octane, ultra-violent and aesthetically pleasing, F.E.A.R's spiritual successor delivers. The story takes a backseat and requires some reading from picked up intel much akin to F.E.A.R, but for those who are only here for the action will not be disappointed.

    the shooter is wonderful: meaty, driving, interesting. The plot is a typical action movie (but not annoying), there are some creepy moments, the locations are spectacular. But a little disappointed: shootouts with monsters (although this is not much), short duration (only the story campaign went through),
    and there are some gaps with the arrangement of game moments

    Trepang2 is a Visceral Ballet of Bullets and Blood.

    Thank You, Trepang Studios. I love your game. I feel blessed to not only have the opportunity to follow the development of this game for so long, but also be involved in creating content to market and advertise it. The game play is over the top. Non stop carnage and violence, the level of detail in not only the visual side, but    Trepang2 is a Visceral Ballet of Bullets and Blood.

    I feel blessed to not only have the opportunity to follow the development of this game for so long, but also be involved in creating content to market and advertise it.

    The game play is over the top.
    Non stop carnage and violence, the level of detail in not only the visual side, but sound design is just spot on.
    At the time of writing this I have 130 hours in the full game.
    I often find myself replaying a save point to just enjoy a firefight again and again and again.

    If your after a fast paced, very gory & violent game with in your face combat then Trepang2 will do it for you.
    Then there is the Soundtrack, the music in this game goes harder than your Nanna at Church on a Sunday!
    Brandon McKagan has an amazing talent for music.

    I started following the development of this game back in 2018, I was blown away with how the game play felt.
    I had not come cross any game that just scratched the itch the F.E.A.R. from 2005 have left me with.
    Yet their little demo on IndieDB certainly did it for me.

    Close quarters, fast paced melee combat that just flowed smoothly.

    I made a short video in 2018 and a little while later Wilson contacted me and ask if he could use the video and that cemented my love affair with this game and developer.

    Since 2018 the developer would send me builds of how the game was progressing.
    In 2019 I was slipped a few more test builds and the direction and design had come so far from the 2018 build.
    Then late in 2019 the first demo landed on Steam and their Fan Base began to grow.
    In Feb 2022 I was gifted the full game and have watched the ongoing development of this game to where it is now.

    For a small Indie Development Team, this game makes most AAA titles look weak.
    If I didn't own this game, I would buy buy it!    … Expand

    Un bon jeu dans l'ensemble, et bien optimisé sur pc.
    Assez court mais suffisant pour s'amuser.

    TREPANG2 is FEAR if FEAR was fast paced, and put a heavier emphasis on its horror elements. TREPANG2 is pretty short. You can beat it within an afternoon, but the replay-ability is up there when it comes to the gameplay which is quite frenetic, and brutal.

    Very high-quality game pleasant to play. Optimization is great, game mechanics are fluid. Story is not super important, but you can investigate it through the collectable notes. Story is super short but replayability is great.

    Trepang2 is what I imagine would happen if the Crysis series became faster paced with a higher emphasis on "kill everything". The gameplay loop of this game is extremely well crafted, with lots of room for different styles of play with the game's mechanics of bullet time and invisibility while still complementing the base abilities of subject 106.

This game would certainly benefit from having more missions, but what's already present has a lot of replay value and room for mastery. The music composed by Brandon Mckagan is absolutely fitting of a game like Trepang, it has over the top pacing, with great drums and guitar present in almost every track. All in all this game has easily captivated my attention for almost 40 hours on steam, and I still find myself wanting to come back to keep playing, even after 100%-ing the game.… Expand

    Trepang2 may not have hyper-realistic graphics or a gorgeous magical world, but it's an amazing load of action that can really test your shooting skills. [Issue#330]

    Trepang2 is a great mixture of horror and action. It may not be the most original idea of the year, but it certainly packs some of the best aspects of many famous shooter games into a cohesive and unique experience.

    To summarize, Trepang2 is a brilliant fast-paced game filled with non-stop action and allows the players to be creative on how to kill the enemies that stand in their way. However, the story holds back the game's potential, and unfortunately, if you're looking for the horror aspect that reminds you of F.E.A.R, then Trepang2 won't quench that thirst. Still, the game is overall a solid experience for those who seek some quick thrill during their free time.
