positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They should make this game free to play and then if it catches on again, find ways to monetize the further development of the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fatshark! It's 2020 and this game is still fun to play but it's dead, please make it free to play!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not have offline mod and dead game, 16player in the game ez dont buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning: Dead PVP Game This game has no single player content, and no functioning PvP population, it's a dead game, and cannot be played meaningfully as the developer intended It was great to play 10yrs ago but now its a graveyard unfortunately i cant not recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those jewel games with impeccable design that I will miss dearly. Everything in this game worked flawlessly, the sound, the balance, the atmosphere. It's been dead for ages now, RIP my good fellow.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Come on Fatsharki know you are reading, your game is good and very fun but it is dead. Just make it free to play so you can: 1-)Bring the game back to life for all the people who are ready to enjoy it. (We'd love you if you did this) 2-)Add an item market and actually make more money or implement some other way to monetize it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neat death match concept and it might have been a popular shooter for a hot minute but being online only with no player base means this game is dead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Information / Review English Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West is an online shooter that was developed by Fatshark. Gameplay / Story The principle of the game is that two small gangs each with five members compete against each other. You shoot the floppy hats off your sweaty skull with colts and shotguns, steal sacks of gold from the mine, blow up wells with powder kegs or take a predetermined sequence of strategically important points. So everything as you know it from somewhat older…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Who needs Red Dead Redemption when you have this masterpiece for PC?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than Fortnite!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bro make it free to play, it might bring it new life
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Refunded. Dead multiplayer (with not many maps either). There's no bot support (except for one awful survival mode in one map) and no single-player content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →According to steamchart statistics over the last 30 days, the average online person in the game is 0.2, make the game free already. I loved this game, but I have absolutely no one to play ♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs to go F2P to revive itself, as it once was one fun shooter
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online Only and Dead Since 2011 This game was release on April 8th, 2010, and if you don't know it other than from the screenshots and video clips you might have looked up, you might think it would be a good buy. I myself have owned it since launch over a decade ago and although the game looks great and the gameplay is on point and enjoyable, it just never caught on and built an audience. It has a TF2 feel to it, different classes to play, a variety of playstyles apart from just a vanilla…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played during the initial release >10 years ago. Bought it yesterday to see if it was alive. Launched the game, didn't work, lobbies are dead. Started a refund request. Steam denied it 3x times because I have >2 hours of play time from a free weekend ALMOST FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. Actually predatory behavior. Don't waste your money buying this game if you've played it before and think you'll get your money back, because you won't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It isn't worth buying and spending time on Not in 2021 NOT AT ALL, even with a 90% discount
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just make it free and load it with costly cosmetics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In 2010, this was a great game to play and back then there was a large player base on countless servers. The character classes and the maps all had a delightful charm to them. The background music delivered the right atmosphere and in many other ways the game had lots going for it. The achievements were well thought out as well (but there is one exception - see below). In it's hey day, Lead & Gold was entertaining. In 2018 however, past participating players have long moved on and there's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't work for me anymore. I reinstalled, Verified my files but still nothing. I got Red Dead to enjoy instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. Neat class based wild west third person shooter. But basically dead, no servers and no ability to play with bots

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 10 years of playing this, I think I might like it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember gifting this to an old friend in 2018, but they never played the game. Saw it on sale, so I bought it. The game still holds up in gameplay and visuals; it reminds me of TF2 and RDR. I wish I had given it a chance all those years ago because, unfortunately, the servers are dead, so I just can't recommend it in its current state. I'm definitely gonna refund it, but if they had a Campaign, I definitely would've kept and played.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning: Dead PVP Game This game has no single player content, and no functioning PvP population, it's a dead game, and cannot be played meaningfully as the developer intended. "Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West" is an ancient game from 2010. It's a whopping 14 years old at the time of this review. While the game features support for modern gaming PCs, the game looks and feels a little dated compared to newer, free to play PvP games. It carries a pretty high price tag for an abandoned…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought it on the condition that it will have an active server but the game unfortunately does not have an active server it is dead the only way to play this game is if you are lucky and a friend has bought it if in the future the developer gives life to the game I will change my critique.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I wish I could be as bad about this as I can, but this game is just a complete opposite of "Game of the Year" stuff. Most of us, are gonna purchase at first instant (Like I did) by mere glossing over mesmerizing screenshots as if it is some Western punk style following a plot. But no, you are deeply mistaken. This DOESN'T involve any plot. Putting that expectation aside, I am not a kind of a person to leave the chance to roam around the glimmering world even if it is just some team…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to play it but no one else does. Make it free to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the most underrated games ever. a real shame battleroyales which are garbage, managed to poach most fps communities.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good fun game shame its abandoned by players and somehow TF2 is still alive and this isnt
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sum of every single review: Make this game Free to Play. It's a dead game otherwise. The concept is simply better in games like Overwatch or TF2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DEAD GAME, ABSOLUTELY NO SERVERS. DON'T BOTHER! 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, at it's time, I had a server for this. I was great fun, me and my friends played. It's a total shame the devels did not push this game more forward and build on this. As of right now, I think more people play Space Invaders (1988) then this. It's dead and abandon. I recommend waiting til this if FREE. Don't waste your cash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game, needs to be for free + updated Update : - Fatshark make it F2P there's no official servers !! and no actual money to lose on AND have some respect to the loyal community !.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shame that no one plays this game now. Very well-made game. With pleasing visuals and gameplay, and I think this online shooter in that kind of setting is definitely one of the best
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dead game,the server is not available anymore
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though it was only a dollar. Its a multiplayer game that noone plays anymore. There for it is dead unless you wanna 1v1 a friends who also owns it. Not really worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was mediocre when it released and now it's dead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was going through my games and found this old gem. Boy did this bring memories. This used to be my TF replacement. This was actually a really fun game, too bad Fatshark didn't try to revive this. RIP LAG.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although there aren't many players playing this game, this game's quite good if you play with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I had someone to play this with
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like a lot of reviewers have said before, no one is playing this anymore. I did have the luck of finding a couple of players. It's not the same as playing a battle, but it's good enough to 'feel' the game. It's not bad. It's very fast. The characters move fast, shoot fast and die fast. I died a *lot* of times. And well it has cowboys. It feels refreshing to leave the Call of Duty settings once in a while. I wouldn't recommend buying it with so few players, but I'm giving it a positive because…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to agree with every other review of this game I've read. It seems like it could be amazing as a f2p game. otherwise, its completely dead and too simple/unrefined to justify spending money on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wholesome game that is best enjoyed with friends. Game is discontinued by the Devs so you might have a little trouble finding servers. But as I said, one of the best games to play with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is unfortunately dead but I REALLY enjoyed what little time I spent here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game and recommend everyone to get it. It has full lobby’s everyday.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead Game Dont Buy it!!!!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game to have fun for couple hours with some friends in a lan party.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is dead now and should be deleted from the library.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good but empty like the wild west
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West is a fun Western shooting game. You can choose from four different classes, there are several game types, and it has co-op as well as multiplayer options (you can use the co-op option to play single-player if there is no-one else online). Unfortunately, there are not very many people playing this any more (this has been confirmed by other reviews of this game). When I tried the game, I was lucky to get into a multiplayer match - there was three of us…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead multiplayer-only TPS shooter. No bots either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome Game, by nowadays considered to be retro. However, it is lacking player base ever since the first generation of players grew older.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a shame this game died. Of all the shameless TF2 ripoffs, this is probably the best ripoff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game , sorry i was so long with the review, only about 12 years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Team Fortress 2 in the wild west and third person. Definitely like it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is all online, but not even one opponent is online. They should do something to attract players. This way this game isnt playable right now. Although the mechanics look to be ok.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very well-made game. Shame that game like this is dead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is not bad but pretty old and it's not easy to find someone to play with this days
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →
