Powerfist Defence Force is a location-based game where you protect humanity's tools from aliens inside physical Princess Auto stores

In case you missed it, ZenFri Inc. has announced the official launch of Powerfist Defence Force in collaboration with Princess Auto, letting players experience a first-of-its-kind game where visiting physical Princess Auto stores can pay off in the form of in-game goodies. The location-based title lets players take up their defences against extraterrestrial invaders as they fight to protect Princess Auto stores in Canada.

In Powerfist Defence Force, players can look forward to immersive gameplay as they keep humanity's tools safe from would-be alien thieves. Players can prevent the human race from reverting to the Stone Age by utilising in-store tools to upgrade ships and build fleets to save the world.

"The opportunity to create the Powerfist Defence Force game was a dream come true. There has never been a location-based game tailor-made for a national retailer like this, until Powerfist Defense Force," says Corey King, Co-Founder of ZenFri. "We've been making location-based games since before Pokemon Go, but the challenge always comes down to extending the virtual experience to the real world in a deep and rewarding way."

"Teaming up with ZenFri was a perfect fit," says Princess Auto CEO Ken Larson. "Like Princess Auto, they're a small Winnipeg-based company doing big things. And like our customers, they have the passion and drive to make it happen!"

If you're keen on getting your hands on the game yourself, you can download Powerfist Defence Force on the iOS App Store and on the Google Play Store for Android devices. You can also visit the official Facebook page to stay updated on all the latest developments.
