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 undoubtedly set a high benchmark, 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 a unique selection of winners. This year's awards showcase a distinct departure from the usual suspects.

Here's a breakdown of the 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 choices 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 favor games popular in other regions.

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.
