Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a cute little game that’s over way too quickly. While this means that a lot of its questions aren’t answered and its mechanics are underutilized, what’s here is still a very enjoyable ride with an adorable protagonist (that may need a calculator or two).
Elisha Deogracias · Jun 18, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewRewards aren’t exactly exciting, usually in the form of hats and other cosmetics, but hey, it’s an incentive nonetheless. All in all, it’s a fun little diversion where you can pay off your debts while beating up some vegetarians along the way.
Aaron Price · Jun 17, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewShort but sweet can sound like a back-handed compliment. But to apply it here is not to damn with faint praise. Both short and sweet, Turnip Boy turns a hearty root vegetable base into a frothy, fizzy confection that doesn’t let you over-indulge.
David Wildgoose · Apr 29, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIf you can call being a menace to society a harmless and casual endeavor, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion will easily bring many smiles to your face. Truly a masterpiece that doesn’t require much thinking to enjoy, all you have to do is pick up your controller and avoid all adult responsibilities by playing as a turnip who is avoiding all adult responsibilities.
Stephanie Sung · Apr 26, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTurnip 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.
Ollie Reynolds · Apr 25, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is an adorable 2D Pixel Action-Adventure game with a unique premise, whimsical music, and amusing characters. The puzzles are simple enough for most players to easily complete, but the gameplay itself ramps up in intensity quickly. Some of the internet culture references might feel cringy, but backtracking is the game’s overall issue. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a very cute, short game with no tax knowledge required.
Diego Perez · Apr 23, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is not a long game, but it is a very fun one. I would happily play many, many more hours as this chaotic little turnip, getting on with helpful tasks for your neighbours, tearing up their books and uncovering sinister mysteries in the process. Its conciseness means that the story and humour, at least, don’t get tired, though it will leave you pining for a sequel some time soon.
Kirstie Summers · Apr 23, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion takes a pretty bonkers premise, and turns it into a thorough action-adventure game. Not only are the design choices and character dialogue hilarious, but the gameplay hits on all of the beats that make a good Zelda clone. The full game is on the shorter side, but it left me hoping that we haven’t seen the last of Turnip Boy and this curious world.
Donovan Erskine · Apr 22, 2021 Reviewed on PC, SwitchRead full reviewTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is certainly not bad and has some genuine charm, but the incessant need to add jokes to everything leaves the experience feeling a little taxing.
James Bentley · Apr 22, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThe premise of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a solid one, and it should be quirky and unique enough to stand out, but it’s hard not to feel let down by what’s on offer. The lack of depth and content are noticeable, and any kind of post-game or replay value—especially without a map—don’t contribute enough to make this a clear recommendation.

Gameplay: 1.5 (At or slightly above industry standard for the genre) Monetization: 2 (Done very well and made the experience a worthwhile one) Replayability: 1.5 (At or slightly above industry standard for the genre) Atmosphere: 2.5 (Wonderful, wish more games used this model) Score: 7.5 Personal Play Time: 2 Hours Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion takes a quirky spin on the consequences of evading taxes, plunging players into a roughly 2-hour adventure through Veggieville. You'll find yourself on a linear path, unlocking new items that allow revisiting previously inaccessible areas. The game's tale is light, absurd, and doesn't take itself seriously—an enjoyable experience for kicking back and enjoying . The narrative kicks off with Turnip Boy learning about his hefty back taxes, prompting his journey to repay the village. Mechanically, the game starts basic with just a dash but evolves as you wield a sword for combat and tackle dungeons to learn new skills. Ripping up formal documents scattered around the world unlocks the true ending, offering an added layer for completionists. The game's charm is undeniable. Its graphics suit the whimsical nature, and the satirical characters add an entertaining layer. Puzzles are engaging but not overly challenging, ensuring a frustration-free experience. Additionally, a roguelike section at the end extends replayability. However, accessibility comes at a price—simplicity. Combat remains largely unchanged after acquiring the sword, and boss fights often mirror dungeon mechanics. The game's brevity might disappoint, with the main story clocking at around 2 hours and an hour and a half for the initial ending. For a premium title, more depth was expected. The endgame's additional component could benefit from further development to enhance its dynamics. Overall, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion offers a decent experience with a shortfall in game depth. It excels in storytelling, character banter, and unraveling the village's mysteries. Currently free on the Google Play Pass and $7.99 on the iPhone, it might be wise to wait for a sale. 2Brc_qzpud8
