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.
This year's Game of the Year award went to Summoners War, setting the tone for a unique selection of winners. The results showcase a notable departure from typical award show selections.
Here's a breakdown of the other category 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 raise eyebrows, but this highlights a key difference. Our own awards often lean towards Western titles with established fanbases, whereas the Huawei AppGallery Awards seem to favor games popular in other global markets.
This diversity is a welcome development, particularly with the rise of alternative app stores. The Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain further recognition and influence as a result.
