The Huawei AppGallery Awards 2024 have recently concluded, celebrating their fifth anniversary with some unexpected wins that are sure to resonate with mobile gaming enthusiasts. While I might humbly suggest that our Pocket Gamer Awards set the benchmark for mobile gaming accolades, it's worth acknowledging the diversity and global appeal highlighted by the Huawei AppGallery Awards.
Summoners War clinched the coveted Game of the Year award, setting the tone for a series of surprising victories across various categories. Here's a breakdown of the 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
The selections made by the Huawei AppGallery Awards reflect a different perspective on mobile gaming, showcasing titles that might not typically make the cut in more Western-focused award ceremonies. While I might not have chosen some of these winners personally, it's important to recognize the value in celebrating games that resonate with diverse audiences around the world.
As alternative app stores continue to gain traction, the prestige of the Huawei AppGallery Awards is likely to grow, offering a platform for a broader range of mobile gaming achievements to be recognized.
