Gameplay
Platinum Annals is a two player side-scroller fighting game, much unlike any Halo series game. The controls are much like those of the Super Smash Bros. series, utilizing one attack button and one control key direction to perform attack combinations. Due to the side-scrolling, there is no friendly fire with the exception of explosive attacks. The players are also unable to pick up and use weapons of enemies, but have infinite ammunition for their weapons.

At the beginning of each level, the players each choose which character he/she wants to use from start, while the rest of the usable characters serve as backup in after the starting character dies. The game is over once all usable characters die. In some levels, all of the main characters are usable, but only a selected few are usable on other levels.

Each character has his or her own statistics, resulting in many advantages and disadvantages. On certain levels, the same character may have different controls from previous levels, due to different equipment.

Controls
Platinum Annals is best played on a standard keyboard.
