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 offer a compelling alternative perspective, celebrating its fifth anniversary with a unique selection of winners.
Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year sets the tone for the awards, showcasing a departure from typical selections. Other notable winners include:
- 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
Some of the choices might differ from personal preferences, reflecting a potential bias towards Western games with established fanbases in other award ceremonies. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, however, seem to prioritize games popular in other global markets. This diversity is a positive development, and with the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain even more recognition.
