Okay, so I'm probably ditching the "bla bla present" text...
I'd say that's a good decision.  It's looking much nicer now, though.  And I didn't say it before, but great job with the art!

I feel eric is on the right track title wise, but personally dislike the logos on each side like that. I think the faravid interactive logo looks great centered, but I got no idea how the screen7 logo could be placed nicely in there too like that.. Great cover art btw! :). Looking forward to the game release!

I almost changed this too, but doubted my feeling! I think it's that there's too much empty space between them and our eye is drawn to the middle of that space instead of the logos within it. I think they might look good together (with appropriate padding) on the right side. EDIT: Oh! As it is in the original. Sorry. I made mine by compositing yours and a later edit to take as much logo out of the sky as I could.

Ugh! And one more thing I meant to mention earlier. I don't know if you're open to any suggestions that involve redrawing parts of the picture, but in terms of visual appeal and creating interest, it might work better to have Freja's sword be held more vertically. Right now, it's something you notice, as opposed to something you see right away. That's where the best appeal lies in your image, I think, the mix of, "Hey, that modern-looking guy's got a book. Whoa, she has a sword! What's going on here?"

Here's another go. Her hand is, of course, all crazy and anatomically unsound now:


Armageddon

Her looking at a gleam in the sword would be much more interesting than just looking off into pixel medieval town. :)

Oh shit.  I didn't even notice she was holding the sword.  My eye glazed over it.  I read it as a guard rail or something she was holding onto or leaning against.

Changing the angle of the sword to make it more visible might be a good idea.

And I'm not sure it needs a tagline.  They always sound cheesy to me.  Unless you come up with a really good one, my opinion would be to leave it be.

I really like the look of the (first) title size that Selmiak made. The title size felt good and the font was nice too. Big difference from the original. This edit I mentioned still looks the best IMO, except for the typo.

I'd recommend maybe drawing up an original title--something that you could use for branding and future artwork.
