Fight through waves of enemies as a Trace Hunter, making use of a variety of different weapon types across multiple missions as you aid the remote outposts of Cassara.
In the distant past, the Cassarians were a highly-advanced civilization. Through leveraging the vast crystalline mineral deposits on their planet, Cassara, they were able to propel civilization forward at a staggering pace. While most of these crystals served more mundane purposes, the most precious crystalline mineral, Cassinite, unlocked a Golden Age of wealth and exploration. Cassinite accelerated technological development by immense leaps, allowing for travel throughout the known galaxy and beyond. However, as Cassinite reserves depleted, a mass exodus ensued. Despite the certainty of a difficult life, a small portion of the population remained, determined to preserve their home planet Cassara. The once easily traversed expanses of Cassara now pose significant challenges for the remaining inhabitants. Trace Hunters, the few who dare venture between the safety of civilization, are a key link in connecting the disparate remains of society. As a Trace Hunter, discover precious resources of the past and traces of lost technology as you battle through hordes of ancient Servitors, reawakened robot that once aided the Cassarians in their daily lives.
