Causa, Voices of the Dusk

“The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colorful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino.”

“Really bad art style and mediocre visuals.”

“The gameplay is clunky, the interface is unintuitive, progress is slow and rewards are low, I don't like the graphics, and, maybe most important, I simply do not enjoy the game...”

“I feel like this game is abandoned, but I'll probably still keep it installed to try and play against someone every now and again, or at least listen to the music.”

“If there was a DLC with the soundtrack, I would definitely buy it.”

“I find the game music very soothing.”

“I suppose you could play single player against the computer or some of the storylines that are not unlocked for free.”

“Finally, the game is lacking a ton of polish in various places.”

“The only ways to get gold are missions, which are once a day and don't award much, leveling up which is really slow and exasperated by the repetitive matches against the AI.”

“Unfortunately, Causa is a very interesting mechanic-based CCG hidden behind some god-awful grindy progression and poor monetization.”

“Planning what you want to buy first between cards and leaders is a little uncomfortable, but it is possible to do. The game rewards you a lot for playing it, and you don't need to spend money to get everything (and the hard-currency prices are cheap compared to some competitors). Obviously, there's a grinding path for this, and you can speed it up using real money, but getting everything is achievable.”

“Not as grindy as other CCGs, it has great easy ways to grind for card packs, and they never get too tedious.”

“This is another nasty pay-to-win mobile cash grab that leverages a couple of mechanics shamelessly ripped from Magic: The Gathering (the developer claims they invented the concept of sacrificing cards, bold move to plagiarize from WotC that way).”

“Due to monetization, I would only recommend it to someone with a lot of money or time to burn.”

“It's EA, so many aspects of the game shall be repaired, like limitless turns, etc. But it looks like the game itself is going to be heavily focused on microtransactions, since gold grind is slow and packs are incredibly expensive.”

“The game has a free campaign mode, a PvE environment where you create your deck in a draft. These campaigns have different difficulties, but the same rewards. You can only earn the rewards once in each of them, which limits the replay value. However, the draft mechanic makes it a great place to test and learn about the game, as no two campaign games are the same due to this.”

“Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to replay the game. The lack of meaningful choices or branching paths means that subsequent playthroughs feel repetitive and uninspired.”

“While the game offers various modes, they don't significantly change the experience. After a few runs, it becomes clear that the core gameplay loop lacks depth, leading to diminishing returns on replayability.”

“I mean, if you're not tired of the MTG/Hearthstone/etc. atmosphere.”

“The art is very accurate with the atmosphere; it makes you want to play and get involved with a 'living world'.”

“The character design lacks depth and feels one-dimensional.”

“Character development is minimal, making it hard to connect with the protagonists.”

“The story fails to provide meaningful growth for the characters, leaving them stagnant.”
