Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a humorous, Zelda-like todo listing of a recreation that received serveral RPS employees over final yr. Now it is getting a “follow-up spin-off” which provides roguelite and top-down shooter components into the combination, known as Turnip Boy Robs A Financial institution. Watch the reveal trailer under.
The unique recreation had loads of fight, however you had been extra more likely to be slicing at sentient fruits and veg with a sword than firing off machineguns in your numerous quests. Turnip Boy Robs A Financial institution stars the identical grinning root vegetable and seemingly the identical irreverent tone and sentient meals, nevertheless it’s about delving into the “deep, darkish depths” of the Botanical Financial institution, stealing cash, and utilizing that cash to purchase new weaponry.
Examples given embody a diamond pickaxe, C4, and a radio jammer, and the trailer above additional options toxic flowers, haunted bricks and, er, bathtub water.
Alice adored the unique recreation in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion assessment, calling it “the funiest recreation I’ve ever performed”:
It is received a particularly on-line vibe, however with a way of self-awareness. I believe this can be a very particular model of humour, nevertheless it was one which I actually loved. Early on, for instance, a streamer blocks your path and calls for a sub from you – so it’s a must to go and purchase a sandwich. One of many first aspect quests you may encounter is to retrieve lease from a tenant, however the one motion out there at that time is to kill him. The opposite tenant expresses some dismay, till you hand the money over. And Turnip Boy will gleefully tear up not simply his personal tax paperwork, however actually any piece of paper that’s handed to him. That is exploited to nice impact.
I loved the sport so much too, principally for the way in which it piles you excessive with small, daft quests so that each step throughout its vibrant world appears like progress. That is why I name it a todo-list recreation, and it is nice for taking part in to loosen up of a night.
Turnip Boy Robs A Financial institution is presently aiming for launch in 2023, and you will find extra screenshots over on Steam.
