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 undoubtedly set a high bar for mobile game recognition, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, now in their fifth year, offer a compelling alternative perspective.
Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year sets the tone for this year's awards, showcasing a selection that differs significantly from more conventional accolades. Here's a breakdown of the other notable 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 Usual Suspects
Some of the choices might surprise those accustomed to Western-centric award shows. Our own awards, for instance, often lean towards games with strong Western fanbases. In contrast, the Huawei AppGallery Awards seem to highlight titles popular in other global markets.
This diversity is a welcome development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even more prominence.
