Duke Nukem: Time to Kill is a 1998 third-person shooter video game developed by n-Space and published by GT Interactive for the PlayStation.

The Story Behind Duke Nukem - Time to Kill

With his enemies eliminated, Duke returns to his time. Apparently, an alien race called the Draks are causing havoc in Earth's timeline, and are aiming to kill Duke. On each visit to the hub stage, the appearance and enemies change slightly, and the dancers in the strip club change from women to mutated pigs and even men, Duke can kill the dancers, which leads to Mutated Pigs teleporting in, resulting in humorous comments from a disgusted Duke.

The game was re-released on the Evercade/VS platform as part of the Duke Nukem Collection 2 in November 2023. It is an "inner city" composed of the strip club, a subway, an apartment and manufacturing plant. According to n-Space executive producer Erich Dyke, in 1997 publisher GT Interactive approached n-Space and asked if they were interested in creating a new Duke Nukem game.

How Duke Nukem - Time to Kill Plays

The first stage of the game is a hub stage. It's up to him now to clean up the timeline. The multiplayer stages can also be accessed in the single-player game by finding stopwatches or 'Surprises.' If these hidden items are found, the player is given an opportunity to take on a horde of enemies in the multiplayer stages using an upgraded version of the current weapon used, with the prize for completion being to keep the upgrade for the remainder of the game.

The gameplay and controls are very similar to those of Tomb Raider, though with an emphasis on action rather than on exploration. The objectives of the hub stages are to find 3 key crystals (hidden in a different location each time) and use them to operate a Time-Space Warp that Duke must use to travel to the Old West, Medieval Europe, and Ancient Rome. In the end, Duke encounters the Drak leader, Moloch the Gate Keeper and then kills him.

The game opens with an introduction video sequence of Duke riding his motorbike towards the Bootylicious Strip Club in downtown Los Angeles, only to find the Pig Cops teleporting in to disrupt his fun, turning his motorcycle into a pink child's bicycle. This game was followed up with Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes, and a game was made for the Nintendo 64 called Duke Nukem: Zero Hour.
