Heal the land for health bonuses.
Caster is third-person shooter where the player controls an inexperienced hero. This hero descends from a rare lineage of people with extraordinary abilities that interact unusually with both the terrain and the plants that sprout from it. The player is employed by an organization to eliminate an incursion of beasts known as the Flanx, bug-like monsters that dwell in water, land, and air. The game can be purchased on Steam, or the Elecorn website for $4.99.
