Lead and Gold is a downloadable third-person shooter that takes players back to iconic Wild West settings for intense multiplayer battles. Gamers can choose from four different character classes, each of which can be leveled up to adapt to changing game scenarios, and each possessing a "synergy effect" that encourages teamwork. Blasters are proficient close-range fighters, while Deputies and Gunslingers are more effective with mid-range attacks, and Trappers specialize in powerful long-range shooting. The game maps run the gamut of classic Western themes, from forts and ghost towns to mines and ranches, and four different game modes are designed to give armchair gunslingers a variety of ways to play. "Conquest" is a competition for control of a series of zones, "Greed" finds teams battling for control of sacks of gold, "Powderkeg" is a contest to blow up various landmarks, and "Robbery" is a turn-based affair in which teams compete for gold by alternating between attack and defense modes.
