Graphics Main Menu UI Feedback

[Justn]

Hi everyone. Looking for some initial feedback on my UI. Both have a similar style but in your opinion which one looks more appealing?

 

Thanks

 

Main Menu 1:

 

Main Menu 2?

I like both. I love the gritty and darkness of #2 but the text is far easier to read in #1.

 

If it were me I'd keep both.. use the first one for awhile and then have some sort of game changing event in which the world turns to rubble or something and you use the second for a bit

Ha nice! Menu #1 is my current UI. I was changing some of the in-game elements with it and started down a rabbit hole messing around with the darker one now im second guessing my original UI  lol

I feel like the 2nd one is more original but I would use the 1st one, it is more catchy to the eye

They are both good, the choice is depending on what you want the players to feel on his first contact with your game.

If i had to resume in two words :

 

1) Magical & Engaging

 

2) Dark & Realistic

 

To a point, if it was possible to switch between the two depending of your "Faction/Karma/whatever/choice" would be very cool.
