Paid Android action game

171 is an upcoming premium action game for Android inspired by Brazil. This game is being developed by Betagames Group, an indie developer, and the game is only currently available in its alpha version. This means that you should expect bugs and various other early-build issues. 171 is an open-world game, so you can expect a decent amount of freedom and agency where gameplay is concerned.
171 is very similar in its approach to other open-world crime-centric games like Grand theft Auto V. The obvious difference here is that while Grand Theft Auto V hasn’t been released for mobile, 171 is a mobile game. If you’re looking for other games that have a similar feel to 171 that you can play on your Android device, try Big Time Gangsta by Glu Mobile.
Open world
As previously stated, 171 functions on a primarily open-world concept, so there are more options for you to explore in terms of adventure and freedom. 171 also has a rather extensive map that will contain many familiar streets if you’ve ever been to Brazil.
You can interact with many different objects and items to make your adventure more interesting, and there are many NPCs that you can interact with. Interacting with NPCs launches even more storylines that add more colour and intrigue to the game. Overall, this is an incredibly compelling open-world title.
Mature themes
Unfortunately, this game is not suitable for all ages as it contains rather graphic references and mature themes. It’s fairly impossible to play the game without coming into contact with such material, so this game is purely for mature audiences.
171 is meant to be a representation of the realities of life within the South American criminal spheres. The realities of such lifestyles and occupations are very rarely suitable for younger audiences.
Alpha issues
As we discussed previously, this is still the alpha release of this game, which means that you should expect to encounter bugs and various other issues. Not all of these issues are bug related, though. Some of them stem from the fact that this is an alpha release. Some of your character’s actions seem unnatural and not quite as smooth as with other games. There are also numerous visual glitches to be found, but overall, the game is of a distinguished quality.
Worth the wait
171, in its current state, is a good title to experience and explore while you wait for the full release. Because this is an alpha build, we can expect that the issues seen during gameplay will likely be fixed in future versions.
Overall, this game is incredibly compelling and gives you freedom and gameplay options that not many other games do.
