A roguelike action game starring the titular Turnip Boy robbing a bank, sequel to the cult hit Tax Evasion.

This is a quiet success for an indie action-roguelike with exceptional player sentiment (95% positive) and a devoted fanbase willing to sink 30+ hours. The franchise has already demonstrated strong word-of-mouth appeal through its first entry, and this sequel maintains that momentum despite zero paid promotion in the last 12 months. For publishers seeking to acquire a completed, low-maintenance catalog title with loyal fans and genuine community affection, or for a revival studio considering merchandising and cross-platform expansion, this represents solid residual revenue with untapped IP upside. Most realistic play: acquisition.

  • Risk: Current player base is tiny (5 concurrent, 8 peak in last 30 days), so growth depends entirely on external marketing or community rediscovery.
  • Risk: No discounting activity in 12 months and a 40% current discount suggest the publisher may have ended active promotional efforts; revival would require reinvestment in visibility.
  • Risk: Built as a roguelike with procedural elements, so balance patches or meta shifts could affect long-term replay appeal if left stale.
