Fallout: Vault 666 is a story-driven mod for Doom inspired by Fallout 1, which carefully blends the dynamics of a classic shooter with the atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic RPG. Players must venture into Vault 666 to find the water chip, battle mutants, and change the fate of the Wasteland.

Fallout: Vault 666 emphasizes exploration and immersion: levels are filled with secrets, alternative routes, and environmental details, while the map design ensures players don't get lost but always feel freedom of choice. The story unfolds not only through dialogue and cutscenes but also through the environment, creating a cohesive adventure rather than just a series of arenas.
The arsenal has been completely redesigned in Fallout style: from the Powerfist and Ripper to the laser Gatling and plasma rifle. Weapons feel substantial, differ in tactical application, and fit well with Doom's pace. Gameplay is complemented by chems and Nuka-Cola, which function as buffs and healing items.
A special place is occupied by Dogmeat — a companion who not only helps in combat but also assists in finding items, making the playthrough more lively and emotional. The ability to interact with him adds a rare sense of attachment to a companion for Doom.
An important feature is the variable endings: final slides depend on the player's actions, secrets found, and decisions made, which motivates replaying the mod and exploring it more deeply. This makes Vault 666 closer to Fallout in spirit than to typical Doom map packs.
Fallout: Vault 666 is a full-fledged story adventure that respects both universes and offers an unusual experience for Doom: with story, choice, and post-apocalyptic atmosphere. If you're drawn to the idea of mixing classic Doom with Fallout, this mod is definitely worth your attention.
