This Fallout-Themed DOOM Mod Will Leave You Stunned — One of the Coolest Ever

Alright, so picture this. Being a Fallout fan nowadays? Kind of like juggling a bunch of stuff, and somehow, one of those things is on fire. Maybe. You’ve got Fallout 76, which, okay, started rough but is way better now. And hey, there’s this banging TV show with a second season dropping in December. But if you’re itching for a shiny new single-player RPG, well, you’re looking at a dry spell since Fallout 4 was like, what, forever ago? And with Bethesda busy on Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 5 might just be chilling until we hit the 2030s. Yeah, it’s a waiting game.

But hang on—there’s a silver lining here. The Fallout community is like, perpetually caffeinated or something. They’re always churning out some wild mods to keep that fandom flame alive. Case in point: Fallout London hit my radar thanks to a viral trailer. But wait, there’s more. Fallout: Bakersfield, people! This mod is taking the first DOOM game and turning it into an FPS version of the original Fallout CRPG. Trust me, the trailer for this one—mind-blowing. Watch it, seriously. I’ll be here.

So, Bakersfield, huh? Set in California, it’s got this gritty, familiar ring to Fallout veterans. Remember Necropolis from the first game? Home sweet home for those radiation-morphed ghouls. You’re cast as a Vault 13 dweller, and hey, Harry the super mutant pops up, hinting you might be reprising Fallout 1’s protagonist life, or maybe Talius’, the scout.

Gameplay? It’s this gnarly mix of Fallout RPG vibes and old-school DOOM action. Custom UI, a mix of both games—you’ll get some ol’ Fallout log messages. Nostalgic, no? And the graphics are this throwback to pixel days, with flashy gore and that 2.5D vibe—flat sprites dance in a 3D world. Total DOOM feel, but with a Fallout twist.

Weapons? Oh yeah, you’ll get the 10mm SMG, Flamer, and Plasma Pistol. Plus, minor destruction, container looting, and dialogue choices—for when talking trumps shooting. Didn’t really happen for me, but, ya know, peace.

Animations scream retro shooter, all jittery and limited-frame charm, and they’ve borrowed sound effects straight from Fallout’s vault of nostalgia. Crunchy sound goodness all around.

Now, moth to flame moment here: this mod could easily rank among the coolest for Doom or Fallout ever. Release? They’re still piecing it together—60% there, they say. So, patience is key. And if you’re really keen, you might wanna slide some cash to Alexander “Red888Guns” and Denis Berezin, the brains—and brawn?—behind Bakersfield. Their Boosty page is open for $2.66/month donations. But they’re cool about money not being the driving force—no profit goals, they say.

Despite that, I might toss them some coins. Why? ’Cause mods like these dive into the unexplored, offering what big studios sometimes overlook. They’re a fresh take, a palette cleanser while we sit on our Twitch feed waiting for Bethesda’s next big drop. Consider tossing some support if Fallout: Bakersfield’s tickling your fancy, too.
