Story can be completed fairly quick with accessibility options like "godmode" (that doesnt affect achievements btw) available from the start.Īchievement wise this is also pretty easy going but at the moment it seems 2 are unobtainable but the dev seems to be aware of the issue and works on a fix. The plot itself willingly uses alot of cliches and a surprising amount of contemporary pop culture references without coming off as cringe, its more of a parody or even a critique of the whole thing.
Gameplay is kept really simple and so were the graphics but thats a great thing because this simplicity suits the game so the player can focus on the bizarre storyline. You can also complete side quests to get things like extra hats for Turnip Boy, which is just delightful.The basic premise of the game is that you (a turnip), didnt pay taxes and are now evicted which in itself is a hilarious concept i wouldve never expected from a game tbh.Īfter seeing this gamepass addition and reading the describtion i hopped on my xbox and started playing it from start to finish in one sitting (which isnt really that long but most modern games simply fail to capture my attention with useless mechanics or other imho unneeded stuff.) Unraveling the central mystery is a key part of what makes Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion interesting, so make sure you seek out all of those collectibles. These little pieces may seem like they’re just laughs, but some of them contain clues to the game’s story, which takes a bit of a dark turn after a certain point. Your own wanted poster for the crime of tax evasion? Stomp it into the dirt. Your own tax bill? Throw those pieces to the wind. A gifted copy of “FastBooks”? Rip that sucker to shreds. Many achievements are collectible items, like books, flyers, or wanted posters that Turnip Boy needs to locate and destroy out of pure anarchic glee.
The writing is especially good when it comes to the game’s achievements. Talking with other fruits and vegetables is always a treat because you never know what hilarious nonsense they’re going to spout next. The real reasons to play the game lie in the characters, soundtrack, story, and humorous writing. The overall experience is simple but satisfying, and the port translates very well to mobile. The fun part is using your other items, like your watering can or magic planter, to solve environmental puzzles or gain the upper hand in boss battles. Most small enemies go down in just a couple of hits, but bosses require a little more strategy to take down. You just get within range of your target and tap your equipped item button to use it. Controlling Turnip Boy with a virtual d-pad, you hobble around the map on your puny little legs, swinging wildly at things with your Soil Sword even though you don’t actually have arms.Ĭombat is neither novel nor difficult, but it has a certain amount of simple charm to it. The game plays very similarly to old top-down Zelda games played, so it’s a real nostalgia trip for seasoned gamers. Off you go on your quest, then, seeking out rarities for Mayor Onion. The things Mayor Onion asks you to fetch are all a little odd, and he keeps mumbling about things all “going according to plan.” But Turnip Boy has as many brains in his non-skull as, well, an ordinary turnip has, so he doesn’t question it.Īs punishment for his financial crimes, Mayor Onion repossesses Turnip Boy's greenhouse and enlists him as a gofer. As punishment, Mayor Onion repossesses Turnip Boy’s greenhouse as government property, and forces him to serve as the Mayor’s assistant and gofer. The setup to Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is that you’ve already been caught dodging your taxes by Mayor Onion.
