TimeSplitters is a first-person shooter and the inaugural title in the TimeSplitters series. The game includes a multiplayer mode called "Arcade," supporting up to four human players and ten AI-controlled bots, who can compete individually or in teams of up to four in specific game types. There are six distinct multiplayer modes, each with unique elements such as available weapons, maps, victory conditions, and character management. A level editor is included, enabling players to design their own levels using a variety of pre-built tiles. Each tile's lighting can be adjusted individually, and players can place additional items onto the map.
Set across nine fictional locations spanning from 1935 to 2035, the game follows 18 characters as they each strive to overcome their personal adversaries and the "TimeSplitters" they've allied with. In every level, players select one of two characters assigned to that mission and must eliminate enemies while navigating the level to obtain a key item, which they must then deliver to the exit portal. Once the item is collected, TimeSplitters—evil, mutant creatures—begin to appear in large numbers and relentlessly attack the player throughout the level.
