I think the menu looks good. The only part that stands out to me as looking a little off is the head of the helmet of the evil one holding the title board. It looks polygonal-ized to me and I think it would look better if it was the same surface detail as his fingers are.
Other than that the menu looks good.

One note on the background image - are the torches in the background going to be animated while the menu is being interacted with by the player?
I ask because if the BG image is not going to be animated, I'd suggest to make the round shadows cast onto the floors by both torches - look more shaped like the scones the torches are sitting in. That would look pretty cool to make the circle shadows look more cage like.

Nice work.

 

@theANMATOR2b,
thanks for the feedback !
For the head, I agree, I asked my artist to give more relief to it to match the hands, but he managed to do only that... In some way, I got used to it, coz like that it doesn't catch too much attention from the text itself.

The torches are moving. Having the game rendering in background allows to set the video options and see right away what they're doing.
