Additionally, the soundtrack for the game is also available on Steam. Both the soundtrack and game can be bought together for around $15. It is currently unknown if Aden will release on other consoles aside from PC. The Steam page describes the game as follows:
Toaka, an amnesiac who fell from the sky, is captivated by the magic of dance taught by Kobako on her mobile stage.
Toaka then remembers her mission to protect the world when murderous beings called purgers appear and attack people. She fights to carry out her purpose, but not everyone is as appreciative of her heroic deeds as she assumes!
Tackle, dodge, fling, pose!
Enjoy quick and breezy side-scrolling action punctuated with groovy duels!
Slam into bosses to deplete their health, then dance in time to the music!
When Toaka’s dance energy reaches its peak, her opponent will explode!
Fight with dance-like movements, and beat bosses by actually dancing!
You can also dance in the regular stages to topple waves of enemies!
Approach one to automatically launch it, then dance around to slam it in any direction!
