Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

Despite a couple of minor annoyances, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank delivers a fun, charming action adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you are looking for a light-hearted experience to occupy a day, this is one that is easily recommended.

There’s only one sensible next step after killing a god, and that’s to rob a bank. Not just any bank though, a bank that has random elevators taking you any which way because you tripped the security system. That’s what Turnip Boy is up to now, in Turnip Boy Robs A Bank. A familiar cast of characters return, along with a ton of new faces that have their own awkwardly funny dialogue throughout all ...

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 r...

Turnip Boy Robs A Bank understood what it wanted to be, an extension of the Turnip Boy world with refreshing new roguelite elements to spice up the combat. Everything from the bank setting, to the soundtrack, to the characters both new and old, hold up to the excellence that was the first game. However, some points have to be shaved off for the game’s ending, which feels drawn out and tedious.

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 reinven...

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.

I had zero bugs or issues with the game on console or PC.  No crashes, glitches, or really anything, though as always your mileage may vary.  Outside of some late-game difficulty spikes my main issue is the lack of replayability.  Once you’ve cleared the map out there didn’t seem to be much else to do and I would have loved a new game plus mode of some sort.  Still at its $15 price the six or so h...

This criminal turnip is back for another adventure that I wish was on a larger scale.

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 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!
