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 emerged as the victor for Game of the Year, setting the tone for a unique selection of winners. This year's awards showcase a distinct departure from the typical nominees.
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 App Store's Usual Suspects
Naturally, some choices might differ from personal preferences. It's worth noting that the Pocket Gamer Awards often favor Western titles with established fan bases. Conversely, the Huawei AppGallery Awards appear to prioritize games released in other global markets.
This diversity in award selections is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even greater recognition and influence.
