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 deviates from typical Western-centric choices. Here's a look at 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
A Global Perspective
Naturally, some choices might differ from personal preferences. It's worth noting that the Pocket Gamer Awards often favor Western titles with strong fan bases, whereas the Huawei AppGallery Awards seem to highlight games popular in other regions. This diversity is a positive development, particularly with the increasing prominence of alternative app stores. The Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain further recognition as a result.
