Check Out This Jaw-Dropping Fallout-Themed DOOM Mod — It’s One of the Coolest!

Being all wrapped up in the mess of being a Fallout fan these days — I mean, it’s a real rollercoaster. Fallout 76 has gotten its act together, sure, and oh, there’s a TV show raking in the praise. Season 2 dropping in December? Sweet! But hold up — when was the last we saw a proper single-player RPG? Fallout 4, right? Ages ago. Now, it seems Fallout 5 is just a mirage in the distance while Bethesda’s off playing with The Elder Scrolls 6 first. Who knows when we’ll see it. The 2030s? Yikes.

But here’s the silver lining — a passionate fanbase that just won’t quit. They’re busy cooking up mod projects like Fallout London. Ever heard of Fallout: Bakersfield? I stumbled on this gem because a trailer went viral this past weekend. Honestly, it might be the coolest mod I’ve seen floating around.

So, Fallout: Bakersfield — let’s unravel this. It’s a total conversion mod for DOOM, of all things. Think of it as a mad mash-up of the original isometric Fallout game and an old-school FPS. Sounds wild, right? And seriously, that trailer — you just gotta see it for yourself.

And Bakersfield? Yeah, it’s set there — that’s Necropolis for the hardcore Fallout peeps out there. “City of the Dead” vibes, home to those creeped-out ghouls. You’ll wander about as some Vault 13 dweller, and from what I catch, maybe you’re the Fallout 1 protagonist. Or maybe Talius, the scout. But don’t quote me on that.

Okay, real talk — this mod looks like it spun classic Fallout RPG mechanics into FPS chaos à la DOOM, complete with a UI that’s like, “Whoa, this is new-yet-familiar.” And let’s not forget the retro graphics — pixelated bliss that screams Fallout 1. They’re like love letters to the good old games. It’s got this whole 2.5D look. Makes sense? Sprites in 3D spaces doing their thing, doomishly so.

Weapons? Check. SMG, Flamer, you name it. Oh, and props destructing? Yep. Bust open containers — find the good stuff. There’s even rudimentary dialogue options when you swap blasting for chatting. Animated with that throwback shooter charm — jerky frame action and all. And sound effects? Straight from Fallout. Crunchy goodness.

Seriously, this mod’s on a whole different level of cool — whether you’re into Fallout or DOOM or just mods in general. Out when? Beats me. They’re 60% done, they say. Creatures halfway there, environments nearly, weapons and UI cruising along.

Kudos to Alexander “Red888Guns” Berezin and Denis Berezin. They’ve opened a Boosty page — just $2.66 a month if you’re inclined to support. No pressure, though — they’ve got no profit motive, turning off monetization even. “Not in it for the dough,” they say. I threw a couple of bucks their way just ‘cause it’s damn exciting. Honestly? If this piques your curiosity even a smidge, maybe consider supporting too. Projects like these break the mold big studios never touch, giving us fresh takes while we bide time waiting for official bits.
