The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While the Pocket Gamer Awards may set a high bar for mobile game recognition, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, celebrating their fifth anniversary, offer a compelling alternative perspective.
Summoners War claimed the prestigious Game of the Year award, setting the tone for a unique selection of winners. This year's awards showcase a diverse range of titles, deviating from the usual suspects.
Here's a breakdown of the key winners:
- Best Action Game: PUBG Mobile
- Best RPG Games: Hero Wars: Alliance, Epic Seven
- Best SLG Games: Evony: The King's Return, World of Tanks Blitz
- Best Family Games: Candy Crush Saga, Gardenscapes
- Best Trending Games: Mecha Domination: Rampage, Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains
Beyond the App Store's Usual Suspects
Naturally, some choices might spark debate. Our own awards, for instance, often favor Western-developed games with strong fan bases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, however, appear to highlight titles from other regions, reflecting a broader global landscape.
This diversity is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even more recognition and influence.
