And isometric camera mode with orthographic projection for the gzdoom engine. Made for versions 4.13 onward (or vkdoom 1.0). Should work with just about any iwad.
Consider playing with a sprites pack with all weapons and directions rendered for the player.

Just run make and a pk3 wad file will be generated in dumped into the ./build directory.
Alternatively, you could zip the whole repository and rename the file extension to pk3.
Then, after you’ve built gzdoom from the above fork, load the wad in
at the end. Over the command line, command is:
> ./gzdoom -iwad <IWAD-FILE> -file <FULL-PATH-TO-DRSGME.pk3>
For best results, set fog mode to “Radial.”
There are keys you can bind to rotate camera about the center, and zoom it in or out. The ./keyconf.lmp file contains some suggested default binds. A key can be bound to toggle aim assist. Most other options (camera pitch, fog of war, dithered transparency) can be changed in the dedicated section in the options menu. Player strafe-movement controls get mapped based on direction the player faces relative to the camera.
There is an option to map WASD movement keys to directions relative to the camera angle instead of the player’s angle.
There is also an option to enable Diablo-Style mouse control. Right-click (alt-fire) key when hovering cursor over and interactable will attempt a use/pickup. There are press-and-hold modifier keys for “stand-still and shoot” and “hold-fire and force move” when in this mode.
