Turnip boy commits tax evasion 26/21/2023 There is a boss that tends to appear a fair bit throughout the game – an angry deer – and it gets larger each time you encounter it. The character sprites are very cute and I found the character design certainly compelled me to persevere with all of the trading and backtracking. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion looks and sounds like a SNES game, which is fine if that’s what you’re into. It gets the job done but I would have liked to see a lot more imagination when it comes to background variation and environmental hazards. The ‘dungeons’ themselves are basically the insides of a house or a barn with some pretty primitive block-pushing or button-pushing puzzles along the way.Īll-in-all, don’t expect an expansive game world experience in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. You know how there’s always a forest, a desert and an ice world in any self-respecting adventure game, but in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion they’re all a bit foresty. I have to say there wasn’t much graphical variation in the various world areas. Then its off to the Western extremities of the world and so on and so forth. He’ll say to you ‘Head East to find x item’ and you oblige, then return to him once x item has been found. Turnip Boy’s aforementioned tax debt is owed to the local mayor – Mayor Onion – who sets you off on your various tasks into different directions from the central hub town. I mean I wasn’t expecting Christopher Nolan-esque story telling but you know what I mean. The ‘set-ups’ for the trading do feel quite contrived at times, but then again how else are you meant to set up exposition in a game that involves a turnip trading items with other vegetables. Each document must be torn up after reading which is surprisingly satisfying! One enjoyable little side-quest is finding various hats that you can collect for him to wear, and each one will make you say ‘aww’ more than the last.Īs the title suggests there is a vague plot based around Turnip Boy not being a fan of paying tax, and as part of the adventure you can find various documents incriminating him in said tax evasion. ![]() Also, Turnip Boy himself is extremely cute. The dialogue made me laugh a few times and the various characters that you come across are all full to the brim of puns and witty comebacks. I think this is probably the strongest element of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion its personality. There also isn’t much in the way of skilling or levelling up which is why I stressed earlier that the term ‘RPG’ is very generous, however you are able to collect items and weapons along the way that slightly improve Turnip Boy’s combat abilities. Personally I like collecting/trading items and its rewarding to work out what to give to whom based on the dialogue clues that you get from the various vegetable NPCs, but if you find all that kind of business quite tiresome then probably best to avoid Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion altogether.
