It's a fun little roguelite-lite-lite, compared with Tax Evasion there's a bigger focus on gameplay rather than story which I do feel is somewhat to the game's detriment.
Weirdly disappointed in Turnip Boy's transition from "Chaotic Neutral Little Bastard" to "Guy who does what he's told" but idk if that's even a valid complaint.
Short, sweet, stupid, fun.

I adored this videogame. It nails its own flavor of contemporary (read: absurdist) humor. It revels in the cartoonish violence it subjects its ridiculous characters to. Basically nothing else, like the questionable progression system or shallow gunplay, mattered to me. I loved being sucked into this colorful little world for a while, a world where a turnip can kill a god and rob a bank.
I started off loving this one, but there were a few major issues that impacted my playthrough:
1) The roguelike elements lacked enough depth to sustain the game through the last 25% or so.
2) I ran into a bug that prevented the completion of the game for me for several months until a patch came through
3) The ending sequence really felt like the devs ran out of ideas but wanted to make the game artificially longer. Plus, in the original design, there were no checkpoints for the whole end segment (I've heard this was patched later), leading to unnecessary tedium.
Overall, It's cute and I think now that it's patched up it may be worth playing, but my experience was negatively impacted by the bugs and poor gameplay choices and can't personally recommend it.
