171 for Windows

171 drops players into a lively Brazilian city where choices matter. Inspired by fan love for street-level sandboxes, the game invites the community to shape development through Early Access feedback. From legal gigs to crime sprees, every decision builds reputation and cash in this ambitious indie project for urban adventurers.

With open-world freedom anchored by branching missions, honest jobs, and moral-testing heists, 171 lets aspiring outlaws feel rising police heat through a dynamic police response system. Optional vehicle customization and weapon customization deepen role-play, while small story beats hint at larger future campaigns still coming as community feedback steers polish.

Players comparing it with GTA

The game immediately feels familiar yet fresh, blending everyday life sim tasks with risky undertakings that escalate tension across its sprawling Brazilian streets. Early fireworks come from branching street chatter; talk to vendors, skaters, or shady dealers, and unique side goals emerge. A responsive wanted meter tightens action, forcing quick getaways or careful bribes. Underneath, sturdy driving physics and punchy third-person gunplay create an addictive back-and-forth rhythm.

Quality-of-life stands out: partial controller support delivers satisfying rumble cues, ultrawide ratios stretch the skyline, and smart upscaling keeps frame rates healthy on mid-tier rigs. The alpha build runs smoother after recent optimizations, rarely dipping during crowded junctions or explosive moments. Saving progress at home gives welcome security between experimental updates, and clear key-binding menus let players easily tweak setups without digging through cluttered subpages.

While story missions are still forthcoming, procedurally scattered odd-jobs supply steady money loops that keep experimentation lively. Fans of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or the indie MiniLAW will recognize the hustle-and-risk cadence, yet 171’s vibrant local identity sets it apart. Community-driven patches arrive often, though occasional clipping bugs and placeholder assets remind players of ongoing construction. Patience pays off as each build introduces deeper systems and surprises.

Criminal sandbox worth playing

171 already delivers an engaging crime-life loop packed with player choice, steady updates, and promising depth, even in alpha form. Responsive controls, frequent content drops, and a culturally rich setting give it personality that mirrors genre giants without feeling derivative. Occasional glitches and unfinished missions remain, but the momentum behind development suggests these edges will smooth out. Genre fans seeking fresh urban chaos should jump in early.
