What is El Tango de la Muerte?

This single-player 2D rhythm game takes place in Argentina in 1923, where Luciano learns tango to win Martita's heart. You move him across the dance floor in time with the music, learning a new move with each song. The story takes about 45 minutes, with separate song challenges and Classic Mode for further play.
