Jaw-Dropping Fallout-Themed DOOM Mod: Among the Coolest Ever

Being into Fallout is like juggling excitement and disappointment. Fallout 76, yeah it’s better now, and the Fallout TV show? People can’t get enough, with Season 2 dropping this December. But here’s the catch—no fresh single-player RPG since Fallout 4, which is, what, a decade old? Newsflash: Fallout 5 is coming… eventually. But first, it’s Elder Scrolls 6 on Bethesda’s plate. Geez. Might need a time machine for Fallout 5.

But hey, the Fallout community is like a pot bubbling over with creativity. Mods galore! One caught my eye—ever heard of Fallout: Bakersfield? It’s like an old-school DOOM makeover of the original Fallout CRPG. Sounds wild, right? Honestly, the trailer had me hooked. Go watch it if you haven’t yet.

Named after Bakersfield, California’s quirky Necropolis—it sounds so goth. Remember? The “City of the Dead” from the first Fallout. Ghouls chilling, doing their thing. You play as a Vault 13 dweller. Encountering Harry, the super mutant? Be still my beating heart. Could be the protagonist from Fallout 1, or perhaps Talius—the scout. Or maybe I’m just speculating too much.

The game pulls a funky mix—a mash-up of old Fallout RPG traditions and DOOM’s FPS shenanigans. Custom UI that’s part nostalgic, part fresh. I love how they kept those Fallout-style log messages. It’s the little things.

Graphics are a throwback. If you dig pixel-y chaos with over-the-top gore—this is your jam. “2.5D” they call it—sprites in 3D. Very DOOM. Combat? Ghouls versus some classic Fallout 1 arsenal: 10mm SMG, Flamer, Plasma Pistol. Oh, and a sprinkle of destruction, rummaging through containers, dialogues—why chat when you can shoot, right?

Animations pop with that old-school shooter vibe—exaggerated, limited frames. The sound effects? Snatched from the first Fallout. Talk about a nostalgia trip.

This mod might just be the coolest concoction ever made for either Fallout or DOOM—scratch that—games in general! Release date? Still under wraps. But the devs say it’s 60% done. Creatures, environments—bit of a work-in-progress, but getting there.

Meet Alexander “Red888Guns” Berezin and Denis Berezin—the wizardry behind it all. They’ve got a Boosty page. A couple bucks a month if you wanna support. But money’s not their main gig—they even turned off monetization on their trailer. Imagine that.

I’m all in, supporting these folks. Mods like this challenge the norm. Big studios would probably shrug them off, but these projects redefine fun while we wait for the next big release. Feel like jumping on this hype train? I won’t stop you.
