Huawei AppGallery Awards 2024 celebrates five years of the storefront

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 may set a high bar, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, now in their fifth year, offer a compelling alternative perspective.

The biggest surprise? Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year. This sets the tone for a list of winners that significantly diverge from typical industry accolades.

Here's a breakdown of the other key 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 selections might differ from personal preferences. It's worth noting that the Pocket Gamer Awards often lean towards Western titles with strong fan bases. In contrast, the Huawei AppGallery Awards appear to showcase a broader range of games from around the world.

This diversity is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even greater recognition and influence.
