Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West features intense gunfights in beautifully rendered Western settings. Incorporating the unique Synergy system, which encourages co-operation and team tactics to achieve a maximum gameplay experience and rewards, Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West calls upon players to team up to relive the excitement, danger, and mystery of the Wild West.

Immerse yourself in gameplay drawing from a perfect mix of cool-headed player skill and the brutal close quarter brawl of the classic Western shoot out.


Every now and then, things work out in a mysterious way. Below is a marketing meeting transcript from deep within Fatshark Headquarters in Stockholm quite recently:

Sven: Any ideas on fun stuff we can do this summer?
Nameless employee (NE): What about giving away a bunch of keys to Lead and Gold?
Sven: Yes, let’s do 100K Keys.
NE: What, 100,000 keys!?
Sven: 100,000!?!?
NE: Yes, you said 100K.
Sven. Oh *cough* Yes, err, of course I meant 100,000 keys! What else? Less would be silly...

And there you go. We're giving away 100,000 Steam keys to our Western game Lead and Gold - courtesy of Sven. This was Fatshark's very first game and it has a very special place in our heart. Lead and Gold was released in 2010 and a bit more than six years has passed. We still play it, and we still get mails with the question "When will the sequel arrive?".

"We love Lead and Gold. It's the game that took us around the world to show that Swedish Vikings can make a cowboy game." says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. "If you haven't gotten acquainted with Lead and Gold yet, this is the perfect opportunity.".
