Duke Nukem: Time to Kill is a third-person shooter released for the PlayStation in 1998, developed by n-Space. Unlike his classic first-person adventures, this entry shifts Duke to a behind-the-back perspective heavily inspired by early Tomb Raider games. You control him as he travels through timeโvisiting the Old West, Medieval Europe, and Ancient Romeโto stop alien pigs from altering history.
How to Play
The objective is to navigate 3D environments, solve environmental puzzles, and defeat alien enemies across different eras. The game uses standard tank controls on the PlayStation: the D-pad moves and turns Duke, Cross is for jumping, Square for action or interacting, and R1 fires your equipped weapon. L1 and R2 are used for strafing, which is essential for dodging incoming fire while keeping your target in sight.
Tips
- Take time to search for hidden areas in each level; exploring off the main path frequently rewards you with powerful weapons like the combat shotgun early on.
- Conserve your heavy ammunition for tough enemy encounters. Use your standard dual pistols or melee kicks against weaker enemies to save ammo.
- Master the strafe controls (L1 and R2). Since the game uses tank controls, strafing is the only effective way to dodge enemy projectiles during combat.
