    This game is what happens when Team Fortress 2 and Red Dead Redemption have a child.
    Honestly, it is. Good, cheap, fun, easy to be good at.

    Excellent game. The community is tight and the developers listen to what we have to say. Updates are frequent. Developers have said that DLC's will be released in the future bringing more classes, maps and game modes. Dedicated servers are being worked upon and seem to be ready soon. With that the lagg will be gone also.

    With very intelligent design choices, the Bionic Comando:Rearmed creators successfully make you want to play the game cooperatively and to succeed as a team, the gameplay design enables and reinforces you to stay close to your teammates in an engaging way, lag issues, as well as other minor problems are solved every week or two, the devs are very active and reachable.

    Excellent game, marred only by the lack of dedicated servers and player management features... since it's a multiplayer game, you would think those would be high on the list of stuff to add... Patches are frequent at the moment so I have High hopes for the future of this game.

    Lead and Gold is a good game with some good old gameplay,but the menus are quite old and dull,and server browser is kinda bad.Gameplay are limited,but if you think this downloadable game is interesting to you,just buy it,its cheap now.

    Just got this on sale recently from Steam, I went in with fairly low expectations expecting the same old team based gameplay with western inspire Graphics. Wow I could not have been more wrong.

Of Particular enjoyment are the Robbery games which have 2 interesting phases to them. The gaphics, sound & music fit the bill perfectly and the maps are very well thought out and fun with lots of alternate routes and obvious choke points.

    Definitely worth checking out.    … Expand

    Very good game and graphics are great for a $10 game. There are hours of fun loaded into the game and I think any one a fan of western games and 3rd person games would love this online 3rd person shooter. And for anyone who doesn't like online can go play in practice mode with bots and play there. This overall is a great game with good potential. I suggest it!

    very interesting that the User Score is much higher than the master score. in my view I think this game is pretty good,fast paced,and delivered a good idea of a game. However, if the game designer try to make the achievements easier to get , I think this game deserves top score. Futhermore ,to our non-Europen or non-American players ,we really want low ping servers.

    This game is great, and I fail to see why the community is absent. When I got this title originally, it still had a community left, and it was an incredibly fun time! This is one of, if not the, best third person shooters I have ever played.

    Its a well made TF2 3rd person shooter wild west style, with interesting game modes.. the only thing bad about this game is it doesnt have a huge player base/servers

    but ive always been able to join a game ok. just not many to pick from.

    Worth every cent, if not more

    The only thing keeping this game down a bit, is the number of classes, which are too few. I think the gameplay is great, and the surrounding designs aren't exactly amateurly done. Also, some maps (game modes) can be a tad confusing and it is occasionally difficult to understand where to go.

    Just got this game a few days ago. So far I have been enjoying it a lot. No complaints thus far. No different than TF2 just with a western theme IMO.

    This game has great base idea and as such i think it deserves the top score. The dev team are friendly and very much so responsive to community questions and comments. The game will soon have dedicated servers which will give the game a real buff, expect to see a lot more traffic with tihs game.

    Fun times are back with this small studio release. This is old school multiplayer fun at it's finest. The game is simple, intuitive, easy to jump in, fast and beautiful. The maps are the best I've seen in a long time. I'll give it a 10 depite dedicated servers are still being developed. But with my 2MB connection I could host great matches with friends close to my location. Fun times are back with this small studio release. This is old school multiplayer fun at it's finest.

It's is online multi-player only, though it does offer an online co-op option to play against bots with your friends.

    This game has potential if it improves everything in the game. I hope there will be new options like character customisation, new maps , new game modes etc. Right now there are just a lot of better games for the same price like Team Fortress 2 for instance. This game is good but don't expect to have any groundbreaking experience.

    Great graphics and really fun in general. It is kind of repetitive and very limiting in terms of map. Most commands are slow which almost guarantee you a kill unless you keep your gun handy. The price is well worth the game, though I would doubt this will either become a huge success or classic any time soon.

    All around great game for the price. The developers are very dedicated and are going to be updating this game often. At $15, there is no reason not to pick up this exciting 3rd person shooter.

    Great game play and I love the old west setting. As others have said the Dev's are hard at work to make the game as good as it can be and they are listening to the players. Yes, they actually listen and take suggestions from the people buying their product, what a concept. For $15 it's cheaper than almost any team based shooters and the action is quick and fun. You can't go wrong.

    A great multiplayer game allround. It has a few small issues, but the developers are dedicated to the game and will support this long enough to give you plenty of reason to buy it. The action in the game can be very intense, with mixtures of teamplay, flanking and sneaky attacks on the objectives, Lead and Gold is sure to keep you either on the move or in the action most of the time!

    Lead n Gold is really a fun and fast-paced game that makes every match enjoyable. The classes are surprisingly well balanced and the overall feel of the game's atmosphere and intense action allows for some awesome shootouts! You will get more than your money's worth.

    This game has potential but it stills needs much improvement before I'd ever consider buying it. Lag and lack of dedicated servers are still very much an issue. The Developers are fairly nice though and they do communicate with the community. I'd say wait before buying until they polish the game more. As I see it, it's still in beta.

    diversión rapida, excelente juego para hacer pachangas entre colegas, al principio cuesta un poco coger el ritmo del juego y mas si juegas contra gente que ya sabe jugar lo mas seguro que salgas mal parado!.
    en definitiva estamos ante un buen juego, que por su nula publicidad no lo conoce nadie.

    I do not have a good memory of this game, as the servers worked quite badly and there is no offline mode; almost no one played. Personally, I prefer the online mode of games such as Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. The idea was interesting, though.

    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 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.

    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.
