The original game had plenty of combat, but you were more likely to be slicing at sentient fruits and veg with a sword than firing off machineguns on your various quests. Turnip Boy Robs A Bank stars the same grinning root vegetable and seemingly the same irreverent tone and sentient foods, but it’s about delving into the “deep, dark depths” of the Botanical Bank, stealing money, and using that money to buy new weaponry. Examples given include a diamond pickaxe, C4, and a radio jammer, and the trailer above further features poisonous flowers, haunted bricks and, er, bath water. Alice adored the original game in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion review, calling it “the funiest game I’ve ever played”: I enjoyed the game a lot too, mostly for the way it piles you high with small, daft quests so that every step across its colourful world feels like progress. That’s why I call it a todo-list game, and it’s great for playing to relax of an evening. Turnip Boy Robs A Bank is currently aiming for release in 2023, and you’ll find more screenshots over on Steam.
