Our take on Ambidangerous

The game replaces the usual single-character shooter setup with simultaneous control of two soldiers, one through each hand. It also lets players approach four randomized areas in any order instead of following a fixed sequence.

What is Ambidangerous?

This top-down shooter follows Amy and Dexter, two soldiers searching a remote island research facility after their unit is separated in a crash.

The island's residents have become organic and mechanical monsters. Players control both soldiers at the same time, using one hand for each, or play in couch co-op with one or two controllers. The game includes four randomized areas that can be completed in any order, seven different weapons, four unlockable perks, twelve enemy types, and five bosses. Amputee Mode supports one-handed progression. Speedrun Mode adds permadeath. An Xbox-style X-input gamepad with two joysticks is required; keyboard and mouse controls are unavailable.

How Ambidangerous plays

01Two-soldier control: Each soldier is controlled at the same time, with one assigned to each hand.
02Couch co-op: Two players can share the game using one or two controllers.
03One-hand mode: Amputee Mode lets a player progress while using only one hand.
04Permadeath speedrun: Speedrun Mode adds permanent loss when a run ends.
05Randomized areas: Four areas can be completed in any order.
