The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While our own Pocket Gamer Awards undoubtedly set a high bar, the Huawei AppGallery Awards offer a compelling alternative perspective, celebrating their fifth anniversary with a unique selection of honorees.
Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year sets the tone for this year's awards, showcasing a distinct departure from typical award show selections. Other notable winners include:
- 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
Beyond the App Store's Usual Suspects
Naturally, some choices might differ from personal preferences. Our awards, for instance, often lean towards Western titles with strong fan bases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, however, appear to favor games popular in other global markets. This diversity is a welcome addition to the mobile gaming awards landscape.
With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even greater recognition and influence. For those seeking new mobile gaming experiences, check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games released this week!
