Description
Doom II reborn in a ravaged future, post‑nuked, mutant‑infested, unforgettable.
Ashes 2063 is a total conversion for the GZDoom engine that dismantles Doom II and rebuilds it as a survival‑oriented, Fallout‑meets‑S.T.A.L.K.E.R. adventure. This mod delivers a richly immersive journey through irradiated wastelands, gang‑ruled ruins, and mutant‑infested highways.
Dive Into a Wasteland Like No Other
A Gritty Rebuild of Doom – explore dozens of hand‑crafted maps filled with explosive, fast‑paced combat and tense exploration.
Post‑Nuclear Storytelling – step into the role of a scavenger navigating factions, mutants, and radiation while following a cryptic radio broadcast emanating from an irradiated metropolis.
Modern Mechanics in a Retro Shell – enjoy reloading, crouching, jumping, full mouse‑look, radiation effects, inventory, crafting, destructible environments, shops, NPC dialogue, unique death animations, and side quests. All layered over classic Doom engine mechanics.
Power, Peril, and Persistence
Wield a Savage Arsenal – from 9 mm pistols to improvised railguns, the mod delivers diverse, brutal weaponry and furious combat.
Unforgiving Challenge – face mutant dogs, raiders, crazed snipers, acid-spewing flora, and “Cannibal Warlords” in dual form- a merciless boss fight that tests reflexes and strategy.
Ambient Audio That Claws Its Way In – a haunting, award-winning soundtrack by John S. Weekley (aka PRIMEVAL) underpins every step with atmospheric weight.
Scrap. Survive. Scavenge. Explore.
Ashes 2063 is not just a conversion. It’s a redefinition of how far the Doom formula can be pushed. Dive into a world built on decay, and fight to escape its ashes.
The GOG version of Ashes 2063 currently includes Episode 1 and the Dead Man Walking DLC. More episodes will be added to the mod over time.

I love the world, the gameplay and the music.
The levels are realistic, interesting, varied and hold many secrets. The weapons have impact and can be upgraded in meaningful ways. There are quirky NPCs that offer well-written dialogue to flesh out the world. And the soundtrack is one banger after the other.
I'm flabbergasted by how this graphically basic engine can deliver such an engrossing experience. I prefer the Survival difficulty.
If I absolutely had to find something to critisize - there's a few it's/its mistakes in there, but that's it ;-)
This game is amazing, free and runs on any old potato - there's no reason to not try it. Thanks to everyone involved for bringing us this masterpiece!
Well it's a great mod no doubt about that, great atmosphere, music and gameplay.
Sadly it's uses a bit older version of Gzdoom where it does NOT delete save files, you have to manually delete them as in: go to My Documents\Saved Games\GZDoom\doom.id.doom2.commercial" and delete them.
It can easily be fixed by updating to the newest GZdoom version, just a heads up for anyone who will notice "why do my old save files keep coming back?".
If Ashes 2063 seems like it might be up your alley, I can confidently say that it absolutely is. It's Fallout 3 meets Doom. And if that's all you need to know, just go ahead and download it. It's great. If not, Ashes 2063 is a post-nuclear adventure packed with action and exploration. And while it does lean heavier towards the immersive sim genre, this still feels closer to a Doom style game than Deus Ex. That isn't to say that it feels exactly like Doom but it gets closer to "thinking-person's shooter" territory even if you need to think fast and act faster when the bullets start flying.
The environments feel very meticulously designed and given the length of time Ashes 2063 has been in development for, that is not surprising. It's the kind of mod that you can feel a lot of consideration was taken. And not just with the levels but also the world. It's the kind of design that you could talk endlessly about - which is why there are so many breathless video essays talking about how great this game's environments are. Like RagnarRox put it - it feels like it's the perfect marriage of STALKER, Fallout & Doom and it's hard to disagree with that sentiment. And this is coming from someone who very seldom plays mods but I'm telling you that if you love those types of games, Ashes 2063 is absolutely worth the investment of time to get in to.
But what is a shooter without shooting and Ashes 2063 handles its core gameplay aspect as well with the weapons feeling very impactful and lethal. It feels like a very brutal game in terms of its violence but the violence feels very appropriate given the world the game exists within. I won't say it is this deadly serious piece of fiction, but if you're looking for an experience that captures the feeling of surviving the post-apocalypse in the 70s & 80s, look no further than Ashes 2063.
