Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion Switch NSP Free Download No one likes paying taxes. Unfortunately, it’s something we all have to do and wilfully committing tax evasion is not something we would ever encourage anyone to do. Isn’t it wonderful, then, that you can evade as much tax as you like in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, an action-RPG from developer Snoozy Kazoo. It may well be one of the cutest games you play all year, but it’s also one of the strongest examples of the genre in recent times. Taking clear inspiration from classic Legend of Zelda titles, you take on the role of the eponymous Turnip Boy, who must undertake a various quests in order to pay off his massive debt to Mayor Onion.

From this point on, the whole ‘tax evasion’ aspect of the narrative mostly takes a backseat in terms of gameplay, with the quests themselves resembling more classic RPG tropes; i.e. go here, collect this super-important item, bring it back. You gain a number of new items and abilities as you roam the land, and in the main these are utilised remarkably well. The gameplay itself feels relatively pleasant for the most part. Early in the game, Turnip Boy obtains a ‘soil sword’ along with a watering can. The sword can be used to defend against fearsome snails, piglets, and other such animals, but utilising it feels a bit ‘floaty’ at times. Swinging the sword doesn’t feel as intuitive as it does in A Link to the Past, for instance.

On the flip side, the watering can is an extremely useful tool throughout the game, and can be used to create bombs to open new areas, and even portals for transportation and puzzle completion. Flipping between items using ‘L’ and ‘R’ is easy, but you can also access your complete inventory by holding down ‘Y’. As good as the gameplay is, it almost always plays second fiddle to the game’s outstanding tone and dialogue. You’ll come across a wide cast of characters during your travels, all of which comprise different fruits or vegetables — strawberries, avocados and the like. The writing is consistently strong throughout, and while the modern dialect and heavy reliance on social media references may not vibe with some folks, there’s plenty here that made us smile and giggle.

Although Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is not an overly difficult game, by any means, some of the boss battles may well pose a challenge. The game alleviates this in obvious ways like introducing new abilities and granting you extra health as you naturally progress through the story, but if you still happen to be struggling, you can alter the accessibility options to boost your attack power. You can even go a step further and toggle ‘God Mode’, which effectively makes you invulnerable; it’s a great option for more casual gamers. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a delight. Its gameplay is not quite on the same level as some of the more top tier examples of the top-down ARPG genre, but it boasts an outstanding tone and utterly ridiculous characters that drive the narrative beautifully.

If you’re after a breezy, cheerful palate cleanser,

Then this release covers everything needed; this is a great way to get more veggies into your gaming diet. One of the very first impressions Turnip Boy creates is that of frustration. The game makes a terrible mistake in reversing typical controls: here, B means ‘continue’ whilst A is ‘back’. It matters a bit less in-game, but menu navigation is painful. Thankfully, the action controls are intuitive and easy once you get used to switching the item you’re holding. In general, Turnip Boy is very accessible and its gameplay more than familiar. You, Turnip Boy, can hold an item, one of a series you’ll acquire throughout the game. A couple are for combat, there’s a shovel, a watering can, a portal-creation device; these things are often used for puzzle-solving which is a significant part of the game. Enter the Gungeon Switch

Puzzles range from flinging bombs at things and moving blocks to plug holes, to watering things to grow portals (?). Nothing is particularly complicated here, and if it weren’t for the wry humour, you might imagine this were a game for a young audience. There’s combat in both over and underworlds, although above ground it’s usually a case of staying still and lashing out a few times to defeat snail or worm or whatever. There’s little variety in how these enemies behave. The use of both combat and puzzling in the two different types of location is welcome, and the dungeons do feel more threatening than the safety of the veg patch, which makes a lot of sense. Underground, enemies are both more intelligent and more dangerous, as it should be.

The graphics are charmingly low-res,

Are complemented by smoother vectorised cut-scenes. It works really well in handheld, giving off a warm feeling of Game Boy-level nostalgia. The soundtrack is, predictably, a chirpy, feel-good slice of chiptune melody. It doesn’t really get annoying, despite its repetitiveness. A few bosses get involved in the action, but apart from one (which happens to not even be the final boss), they’re all very straightforward. The single boss that is more of a challenge demonstrates how Turnip Boy comes close to offering more, but it’s more of an exception that shines a spotlight on the lack of meaningful gameplay elsewhere. Apart from this instance, when I sat back reflecting on the game at its end, I couldn’t really remember that much that had actually occurred. ESP Ra.De. Psi Switch NSP

Turnip Boy was a game I played mostly on auto-pilot, because there wasn’t that much to engage me. It’s difficult to go in too hard on Turnip Boy because everything about this game is so nice: the characters are cute, the locations are bright and inviting, the touches of humour are well-judged. As a game in the classic 2D action/adventure style, it’s a reasonable effort, plays well, and it looks and feels the part. But there’s something missing here, as if the game needs more polish and more substance. It really is over all too quickly; you’re looking at 2-4 hours total gameplay, and that upper range is just for completionists. Coupled with the simplicity of the challenge, Turnip Boy borders on feeling like a fancy demo more than a full-blown adventure.
