Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
Far from being a simple reskin of Wolfenstein 3D, Only Lead Can Stop Them features nine weapons and umpteen different enemies across three geometrically diverse episodes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
It has an excellent soundtrack that is perfect for the game and the action is good fun, with levels designed for exploring and wandering at your own pace, which really gets me thinking Warcry wanted to make a true spiritual sequel to Wolfenstein 3D.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
HOWEVER the core gameplay of Only Lead Can Stop Them is still fun especially if you have any love or nostalgia for Wolfenstein 3-D.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The textures and the items also look fine, and so do the weapons... when they are lying on the ground, that is.
