What distinguishes Rhythm Doctor from other rhythm games is that it only utilizes a single button. Every patient that you encounter in the game has their own personal issues and story to uncover. This special treatment involves defibrillating patients’ hearts in sync with their heartbeats in order to heal their mental and physical illnesses. In Rhythm Doctor, players assume the role of an intern, who is expected to help two doctors heal their patients using a special treatment. A one-button rhythm game? Wouldn’t that be too easy? I’m here to tell you that it’s definitely not, and this game from Malaysian developer 7th Beat Games is certainly one of the most unique rhythm games I’ve ever played in my life. and some of the songs are pretty long so there's a lot to get right.At first, Rhythm Doctor may sound overly simplistic. But I still wanted to do it legit.) Other stages that took a while included 3-3, 3-X and a bonus minigame in area 2.
