In Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz, a character at one point asks, “Is it true that there is a place in a man’s head that if you shoot it, it will blow up?” Trepang2, from Vancouver-based developer Trepang Studios, believes in this idea with a near-religious fervor. The game is ludicrously gory, as the hail of your first-person fire is capable of mashing bodies into a red paste, sometimes even leaving behind intact organs in its wake.

Its heavily armored black-ops teams move through gray hallways and offices, coexisting with horrific creatures and experiments gone awry. You play as one such experiment,...
