About the Game

Gold Rush is a real-time strategy game set on frontier of the Wild West. Inspired by the golden era of 90s RTS classics, Gold Rush blends time-tested mechanics with a fresh, approachable design that rewards clever positioning and timing over heavy micromanagement.

STAKE YOUR CLAIM ON THE FRONTIER

Begin each match with just a few miners and a dream. Gather gold, construct buildings, and grow your humble camp into the next big boom town. But beware — you're not the only one seeking your fortune, and only the sharpest strategist will strike it rich.

EXPLORE NEW HORIZONS

With randomly generated maps, every match offers new strategic opportunities. Scout your surroundings, exploit the landscape, and uncover fresh tactics as you adapt to an ever-changing frontier.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON

Gold Rush is all about dynamic, back-and-forth battles. A diverse roster of unique units gives you countless tactical options.

Charge out with a swift squad of jockeys, lay down a maze of landmines to stall your enemies, or march forward with riflemen and cannons in a relentless push. But choose your strategy quickly — the West waits for no one.

BATTLE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE OLD WEST

Lead your forces through a twelve-mission campaign across the old west. Each mission presents a new strategic challenge for you to overcome — will you carve your name into the frontier, or be buried in the dust?



RELIVE THE ACTION

Want to savor a hard-fought victory or study your last stand? The built-in replay system lets you watch past matches, learn from your mistakes, and celebrate your best plays all over again.

MULTIPLAYER MAYHEM

Face off in real-time showdowns with up to four players. Whether you're teaming up, dueling head-to-head, or diving into a chaotic free-for-all, Gold Rush rewards smart planning, bold plays, and the ability to adapt when everything goes wrong.

Gather your friends, stake your claim, and experience a fresh take on real-time strategy in the Wild West.
