The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While I might modestly suggest our Pocket Gamer Awards set the benchmark, I'll concede that other award ceremonies exist. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, celebrating their fifth anniversary, offer a compelling alternative perspective.
Summoners War's Game of the Year win sets the tone for this unique awards selection. These aren't your typical winners.
Here's a breakdown of the other notable awards:
- 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 Mainstream
Personally, some of these choices aren't what I'd have picked. However, our own awards often lean towards Western titles with strong fan bases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, conversely, seem to favor games popular in other regions.
This diversity is a positive development. With alternative app stores gaining prominence, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to increase in influence.
