While you’ll still be pressing the same single button each and every time, the game spices up the gameplay with additional tweaks to the formula. The game’s core mechanic is this slam/tap your spacebar in perfect time on the seventh beat of the music, but it gets a lot more complicated than that. I discovered that by myself (since the game didn’t outright tell me that I could use a controller instead), but I was relieved to find out that I could do so since I (and many other gamers) sometimes much prefer a controller, especially in a game that requires vigorous and relentless tapping like this. That’s right only one button, and that’s either the spacebar on your keyboard or any one of the main face buttons on your controller (mine was the A button on an Xbox controller). 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. At the very least appreciate the work put into the game with such a small development team that put their heart and soul into it.At first, Rhythm Doctor may sound overly simplistic. It is highly rated on steam and even if the game doesn’t sound like it’s for you, at least check out the OST on Youtube which is totally free and, who knows, you might find a track that you really like. Not to mention the levels are just fun to play in general with its great music.Īll that for 15.99$ when the game isn’t even finished yet is very worth it, especially considering the small team behind it. There are also custom stages that can be downloaded online and it’s even quite simple to make one with a very intuitive built in level designer. Rhythm Doctor in its current state as an “Early Access” title is pretty short, however, there is still a lot of replay value in it with optional S+ ranks that signifies a perfect completion for that stage which is very difficult. These include special boss stages that have you fighting a virus that usually glitches out the screen and music, making it harder to tell the beat and relies on the player’s own sense of rhythm to overcome. The mechanics stay fresh and new throughout the game as new beats, mechanics, and distractions are introduced within almost every level. ![]() The overall simple and fun nature of the game makes it easy to pick up for a few minutes and enjoy, without being too time consuming. The story isn’t the most grandiose out there, but it’s straight, to the point, and sweet. Each “heartbeat” also follows the song’s own beat, making it very satisfying to hit every beat correctly. There’s also basic “one-two” beats that have the player time the button press on each second beat. There’s many different types of beats the “seven beats” have six beats played in which the player must time their press to the seventh. The only button required to play the game is the space bar as it mostly consists of timing each press to the “heartbeat” of the patient. The gameplay is simple yet intuitive because of the wondrous and vast music provided. Rhythm Doctor is one of them and a great one at that. It’s a shame too because many of these types of games go mostly unnoticed despite having delightful music and gameplay to suit. Rhythm Doctor is a genre of game that isn’t seen or talked about much in the industry, a rhythm game. An indie game is a video game typically made by either one person or a smaller team that doesn’t have the financial support of most companies. ![]()
