The Huawei AppGallery Awards 2024 recently concluded, and the results have sparked interest among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While I might humbly suggest that our Pocket Gamer Awards set the benchmark for mobile accolades, I must also acknowledge the significance of other awards, such as the Huawei AppGallery Awards, which celebrated their fifth anniversary this year.
The highlight of the event was Summoners War clinching the coveted Game of the Year award, setting a unique tone for the rest of the winners. This choice indicates a departure from the usual suspects, showcasing a diverse range of games favored by the Huawei AppGallery community.
Here are some of 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
Personally, some of these selections might not align with my own preferences. However, it's important to recognize that our Pocket Gamer Awards often lean towards Western games with strong fanbases, whereas the Huawei AppGallery Awards seem to celebrate titles popular in other parts of the world. This diversity is a healthy sign for the industry, especially as alternative app stores gain more traction.
With the increasing prominence of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain even more prestige in the coming years. As we celebrate these achievements, why not explore some new mobile games?
