Freedoom is a complete, entirely free/libre game built for the Doom engine, providing original levels, graphics, sounds, and music as drop-in WAD files. It is compatible with most mods and custom levels made for the original Doom games and requires a separate Doom source port to play.

Use cases

• play a free and open-source Doom-style FPS
• run Doom mods without owning the original game assets
• use free WAD files with a Doom source port
• create custom Doom levels compatible with a libre base game
• distribute a legally redistributable Doom-compatible game

When to choose

• you want to play Doom-engine games without proprietary assets
• you need a free base WAD for testing custom levels or mods
• you want a legally redistributable Doom-compatible game to bundle with a source port

When to avoid

• you want the original Doom campaign, monsters, and textures
• you need a standalone game executable - Freedoom requires a separate source port
• you want modern 3D FPS gameplay
