Requital

Requital is a 2006 action RPG developed by Akella and Primal Software and released by Excalibur Publishing on the Microsoft Windows platform.

According to the developers, part of the motivation in making Requital was to create an authentic 6th century Russian world for the player to explore.

[1] The player takes the part of Wolfhound as he attempts to avenge himself on those who destroyed his clan, murdered his parents and enslaved him as a young boy.

Criticisms included mediocre graphics, poorly translated dialog, linear gameplay and a lackluster game opening.

Good points included a leveling system where skills improved the more they were used, the necessity of tactical strategy as the game progressed and charming environments to explore.
