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, celebrating their fifth anniversary, offer a compelling alternative perspective.

The biggest winner was Summoners War, crowned Game of the Year. This sets the tone for the awards, which showcase a distinct selection compared to more traditional accolades.

Here's a breakdown of the other category 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 many awards, including our own, tend to favor Western titles with established fan bases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, however, demonstrate a broader global reach, highlighting 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.
