Turnip Boy proves he's no one-hit wonder, taking a slightly different direction to his debut yet still hitting all the right notes. Fun to play and enjoyable to master, it’s a creative action-shooter that shouldn’t be missed.

Featuring an interesting gameplay loop neatly balancing shooter and exploration, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the best game ever made featuring a rotten, outlaw turnip. It’s occasionally funny, quests aren’t entirely straightforward or quick to achieve (including some “kill X enemies of this type” ones), and it feels rewarding to unlock a new area and fight a new boss. The choice to lock the aspect ratio to 4:3 is baffling, doesn’t benefit the gameplay at all, but that’s a quirk worth living with since most of the game is sheer roguelite goodness with veggies on top.

I think we may need an intervention for Turnip Boy... first he commits tax evasion... now he's robbing a bank!

First comes tax evasion then comes… major thievery? Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the new game in the series starring our favourite root vegetable. Abandoning the Zelda-esque adventure format and now tackling the roguelite genre to great avail, Turnip Boy is a whimsical, cross-genre success story.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a delectable rogue-like that kept finding new ways to bring me back to the dinner table. Addictive run-and-gun gameplay, a colorful art style, and hilarious writing come together to create a memorable first course for 2024.

As Turnip Boy's upgrades and arsenal grow, it becomes increasingly easy to plow through enemies, but this progression from weak root vegetable to overpowered killing machine is satisfying in its own ridiculous way. Bosses each have their own unique battle styles that can take at least a few attempts to learn the patterns of, and the title finds a creative way in the end-game to ramp up and reinvent its established formula. Combat related challenges like killing a certain number of specific enemies also add an extra layer of battle-based achievement, which helps the game's replay value.

I’m not quite sure how often I’ll pay it a repeat visit, as the focus on earning money to purchase key items makes for a more predictable and rote means of making it from one area to the next. I’m very happy to have played it thoroughly at least once, though, and this vault is worth busting into regardless of whether or not you enjoyed the first round of food-based federal crimes.

Turnip Boy is back! Where his previous outing was a fun take on the Zelda-like, the young turnip has returned with his own take on the Rogue-lite. Break in, steal some cash, and then invest in making each additional run faster, smoother, and deadly.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a fantastic roguelike with so much humor. Even if it is a little short, it runs extremely well on the Steam Deck!

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank might be one of the best games of 2024, and it's only February. It's a quirky, wonderfully weird roguelite.
