International Doom is a set of bilingual, limit-removing source ports, aimed for graphical enhancements and gameplay features, with preserving overall vanilla feeling. Initially it was started in 2016 as translation-only project, but further development was inspired by Crispy Doom and Doom Retro source ports (and continued with extensive support from their authors - Fabian Greffrath and Brad Harding). The project contains many efforts and bits of code from people around the world, which is why it is actually international.

Language selection between English and Russian is available in the game options menu.

International Doom was previously known as "Russian Doom", but was renamed in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Gameplay enhancements
