Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West Critic Reviews

What better way to scale how much fun this game is then to say that without a doubt that the level of enjoyment that you get with Lead and Gold is nearly unrivaled.

A great little shooter, and one that could well give Valve a run for its money.

Easily comparable with titles twice its price. Its core gunplay and design are more airtight than a collapsed mine.

Cowboys, sixshooters and nice multiplayer action. It's hard not to like Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. Save from some annoying spawn points, this is great multiplayer fun with charming graphics, a lot of content and many different game modes. A highly recommended download for everyone.

The debut title from developer Fatshark, risen from the ashes of now defunct developer Grin, is an intense third person multiplayer shooter. With exquisite level design, great character classes, top notch presentation and thoroughly entertaining team based gameplay this is an impressive debut indeed.

Fast to learn and fun to play, and sold at a very inviting price. Add a wild west appeal to that, and what you get is a big deal. Might be considered as a mere Team Fortress 2 clone, still it delivers some true funny matches.

The varied game types, excellent maps, straightforward game mechanics, and fun setting mean you shouldn't hesitate in picking this one up.

If you look at the overall value of this package, it doesn't take long to see that Fatshark has stepped up with a winner. The developers set out to appeal to an array of genres and I think they'll eventually get a decent following because of it.

The class-based gunplay between teams of dusty scavengers is fast and dirty, but there’s a sense of strategy that rewards slowing things down a beat and keeping an eye on your fellow cowboys.

Lead and Gold’s biggest problem is how it doesn’t take advantage of its setting in a meaningful way. The Wild West was such an iconic time, and has been immortalized in countless classic movies and books, but the game doesn’t really get across that creaky old west vibe that it should.

Waiting for dedicated servers, Lead and Gold is a good multiplayer game with some small but nice ideas that take advantage of the Far West setting.

Fast, spot-on controls for sprinting and jumping, combined with amazingly detailed levels, make Lead and Gold an incredibly intense experience with bullets flying around every corner.

You wanna feel like a cowboy? Well, Lead and Gold: Gangs of Wild West is a good shot. Its only weaknesses are the classes you can‘t change, and there aren‘t too many players online.

Lead and Gold has the ground work and potential to be a game that people never forget about, but until the developers implement that characteristic that keeps players motivated, the interest will always be minimal.

Lead and Gold is like Team Fortress in wild west style, but lacks innovation and long-time motivation. Nevertheless it's worth a look.

Lag and server issues.

A nice multiplayer shooter that borrows rigorously from genre staples, but doesn't really add anything new besides the western theme. Can't beat the price, though.

Lead and Gold's straight-shooting multiplayer action is good fun, despite a few drawbacks that tarnish its appeal.

If you’re more of a casual multiplayer gamer like I am, then Lead and Gold is neat game. Just don’t expect to be playing it for months on end.

Above average multiplayer first-person shooter in an unconventional western stylization looks good, sounds great and plays excellent!
