Players will dance across a recreation of 1923 Argentina drawn from photographic collages of the era in El Tango de la Muerte, a rhythm game about tango, love, and bitter rivalries.
El Tango de la Muerte places players upon a checkerboard playing field, moving along the panels that glow to the beat of each song. Whether they’re following a dance with their partner or throwing fists at their rival for love, players will have to keep up with that rhythm while also making it to certain locations on time to activate certain effects, like colorful bombs or crushing punches that will add color or needed hits that will carry them through that dance or interaction.
El Tango de la Muerte works to recreate Buenos Aires and archetypical characters from that time period, looking to mix a compelling rhythm game with the specific cultural imprint of that place and time. Currently, two chapters are playable in the game’s Early Access release, with more of the game’s tale of love and hate to come soon.
El Tango de la Muerte is available for $ 4.99 on Steam Early Access. For more information on the game and developer Hernan Smicht, you can head to the developer’s site or follow them on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
