Some are individual unit buffs, some are squad buffs. Canticles are basically one use buffs, of which you can equip up to three. How you play is you select a mission from one of several Magus (quest givers), select who is going on the quest and any Canticles you want to bring, and then you explore a nide based map until completing the mission objective. The enemies in this game follow a similar pattern with heroes and base soldier types. Skitarii have a wide variety, but each is a specialist, like snipers, grunts, etc…you can also upgrade these via the reward system for completing quests, but they can’t actively be leveled up. Tech Priests can level up, swap gear, and spend currency on skill trees. You have two core types of soldiers: Tech Priests, which are your heroes, so to speak and Skitarii, which are your expendables. The skill trees are linear and IMO, it’s best to conclude one before starting new ones for each Tech Priests. You and your enemies actually can’t miss an attack, so what becomes paramount is positioning, planning, equipment, and your skill trees. In fact, I only saw one dodge my entire playthrough, which was probably from an ability. I feel like the 15ish hours it took to complete this run was right at the cusp of turning from fun to somewhat tedious, so the length seemed pretty perfect. I doubt I’ll devote the time to get the other endings and cheevos, which would take at least one more playthrough and probably two more, but it was an enjoyable experience. Definitely a fun XCOM style game with some gameplay tweaks and elements specific to the 40K universe.
