Those that give you quests will have a bit more to offer, but as Turnip Boy only communicates in punctuation symbols, the conversations aren't exactly riveting, and this makes the humor even more difficult to deliver effectively since conversations are one-sided. Most will have just one or two lines to say, as static NPCs.
You wander around an admittedly colorful pixelated world, one screen at a time with various exits, and can talk to the various other vegetables standing around. Younger players may find some enjoyment here, if they connect with the humor.Īs a 2D adventure, Turnip Boy may also be underwhelming for all but the freshest members of the gaming community. From memes to pop culture references, the game tries to have it all, and often crosses into the "trying too hard to be hip" category. It seems to be very much a "throw everything at the player and hope for the best" type of writing. You could chuckle at one character, and groan at another. The jokes are all over the place in their subject and quality, which makes the game feel uneven, and lacking a central theme – such as tax evasion – makes for a scattering of fluff. The evasion move isn't a dodge, it’s a trip. You could kill a snail in order to get its rent money, which you tear up (as is with all things you find, as a running joke). Instead you'll find a scattering of jokes, from a live streamer wanting a "tier 3 sub" in the form of an actual sandwich, to a sketchy character selling wood, which is apparently illegal. While the game starts off with Turnip Boy's tax evasion problem, the rest of the characters and dialogue have little to do with the over-arching theme. Along the way, you'll interact with a few other vegetable characters, and help in their predicaments.
The game world is rather small, but you'll still encounter puzzles and enemies that will slow your progress. In order to pay back the Mayor, you'll have to complete a variety of quests for him, mostly gathering a specific item on the other side of the map.
The story of Turnip Boy begins as the local Mayor Onion is getting ready to evict him for owing taxes on the home.
