Causa, Voices of the Dusk Review
Good things
This is a good card game. The tutorial is made into 5 episodes but I would like it to be even bigger to explain a few things I didn’t know at start. Don’t get me wrong tutorial teach you how to play and it shows you that this game is easy to play but hard to master. While there exists campaigns you can buy for a resources in game and play them I think the meat of the game is in player vs player and creating your own custom made deck. And oh boy there are so many cards to pick from and so many ways to build your deck. I had been playing using mostly Glory deck and while I was playing against other players I have seen many people and many decks and each deck was unique so I think you are only limited by your imagination and tactic. I myself tried out 5 different decks build with Glory deck and I know there are more combinations than that. You build a deck using 30 cards but there are 250 cards in the game right now and if I’m correct you can only have 2 identical cards so most of the time you will pick 15-20 cards you like to create a deck of 30 cards. Only once I have waited for 2 minutes for a pvp match but most times it is 2-15 seconds to find someone, also in right top corner you see “Player searching game” and that means that there are people that want to pvp so it is easy to just jump in. What is different that other cards games is that you don’t have to attack enemy cards you can attack enemy hp from the start and that gives you more tactical options because you must choose if you want to deal dmg to enemy hp or maybe destroy some of his strong cards. Also you can’t just spam cards as max you can have 4 characters cards and 4 support cards on the table so you have to pick what to play and when to use what support. There are also a ton of things to unlock like leaders, cards, card backs, backgrounds, banners, avatars and titles. Casual pvp is fun but there is also a grayed out “ranked” and that means some hardcore ranked pvp games will be added in the future and it shows that developers want to improve game in the future.
Bad things
To play you need to create an account and there is no option to just log in with your Steam account and I know that can be a deal breaker for some people. Also as the game is mostly focused on player vs player it can also be a deal breaker for some people.
Important things about the game
Tutorial teach you how to play but I think it should also explain many things that I had to learn by trial and error and these are the things I will point out here as they are important to get better in the game.There are resources like gold, organite and soul ember. You can use gold or organite to unlock campaigns and soul ember to craft cards. You also get card packs for doing campaigns. There are also daily and season quests that give you resources for doing them. There are 4 leaders to start with so 4 card decks – glory, wealth, influence, spirit but there are also neutral cards that can be used with any deck. It is important for you to learn what color means what deck so when you open packs of card you will know for what deck you got cards. While there are neutral cards and 4 main decks if you click on “collection” you will see that there are also 6 other decks that are a mix of 2 other colors/decks. So that mean there are many many ways to build your decks but you need the right leader for each deck. By playing you get xp for the deck type you are using and your total power level is all your levels in 4 deck types together.
Conclusion
Easy to play and hard to master. Get this game if you like card games and you can invest enough time to build a good deck and to learn how to be good.

Best new digital card game I’ve tried in the last three years. The game mechanics are refreshingly new and require you to make meaningful decisions all the time. The game is very well polished visually for an EA release, the UI is slick and clean, I like the art style, the lore is intriguing, and the developers are super friendly and responsive. I guess, I’ll be in this for the long haul.
Edit: I did have the chance to play this shortly before EA, so I have a few more hours in it than being shown here.

I have played a large variety of card games over the last 20+ years, and not very many keep my attention or interest for very long. Causa, however, immediately captured my attention, and I fell in love with the game the first day playing it. The unique system of putting your own cards into a "reserve pile" for later use AS a mana/cost system is amazing and creates so many different levels of strategy, not just with how each game itself is played, but also in how you build your deck!
The graphics, animations, and music are all BEAUTIFUL and really well done, creating a distinct world.
Also, the amount of passion, energy, and focus that the development team puts not only into the game itself, but also fostering and growing the community that is playing the game, is going to help keep Causa going for a long, long time to come.

Beautiful game. Lovely art and a truly excellent soundtrack. Game mechanics are perhaps not quite as unique or unprecedented as the description would make it out but they're certainly functional. I haven't played enough of the game to be able to properly comment on balance yet although one thing that immediately stands out with these mechanics is that aggressive decks are likely going to dominate everything else. Any CCG which fully replenishes your hand at the start of the turn tends to suffer from this problem and the few matches I've played so far certainly suggest this game is no exception.
Another issue with the game right now is that you can't immediately jump into a campaign after completing the tutorial. Even the Apprentice campaign requires a good amount of resources to unlock which is for sure going to rub people the wrong way.
Granted, all of these resources can be accumulated in game from playing but it's still a bad business decision that is going to give the game the appearance of being greedy. I would recommend at least the initial campaign to simply be free.
Aside from that, the game seems well worth a try.

Challenging free to play CCG with beautiful aesthetics and unique mechanics that offers endless strategic possibilities. Choose wisely when sacrificing cards, they could be useful later in the battle!

Causa has many new ideas that fix every problem I've ever had with other card games. Their development team is consistently involved with the community, listening to suggestions and sharing promo codes and in game items.
Story
The lore of the game is incredibly deep if you care to look into it. I do, and I've fallen in love with the world hidden behind the cards.
Sound
The sound is amazing! Every sound effect is made to fit what's happening on the screen, and the music is fitting for both menu and battle.
Graphics
They've give a lot of attention to graphic detail: cards have a 3d effect when moved, every leader and background has animations, every attack has an effect. Look closely at the banners and you'll see they're waving. Amazing.
Controls
Playing the game is very intuitive. They've added skip-able/repeatable tutorials and explanations for everything in the game, so you can figure anything out. And if you already know something, the skip button is always available.
Replayability
The battle pass feature gives you a clear goal to shoot for, and the missions give you reasons to switch up your play style and try new things. And the campaigns make you draft a deck, so it feels new even when replaying one.
Fun Factor
The game is fun, no doubt about it. Its faster and smarter than Hearthstone (more things to do each turn), and fixes one of MTG's biggest problems (mana as cards) by making every card be usable as mana.
My Opinion
This is by far the best card game I've ever played. Do yourself a favor and play it.

I highly recommend this game. Though there are some op combos like the support combos, and some issues like typos, the game is new so I am sure it will be fixed. Just wish you could save your leader option to use on another turn, instead of using or losing it the turn you get it, with all that said I highly recommend this game I am sure it will be something amazing like Kards is. Anyways good luck and have fun!
