Supercell's Squad Busters Wins Apple's 2024 iPad Game of the Year Award
Despite a rocky start, Supercell's Squad Busters has achieved remarkable success, culminating in a prestigious award. The game has been named the 2024 Apple Award winner for iPad Game of the Year, joining other acclaimed titles like Balatro+ and AFK Journey as top winners.
Squad Busters' initial launch was underwhelming, a surprising setback for Supercell, given their history of carefully selecting global releases. However, the game has since gained significant traction and popularity. This Apple award serves as strong validation of Supercell's decision to persevere with the title.
Other notable winners include AFK Journey (iPhone Game of the Year) and Balatro+ (Apple Arcade Game of the Year). Squad Busters' inclusion in this elite group highlights its growing recognition.
A Comeback Story
Squad Busters' initial struggles sparked considerable debate and speculation. Many questioned Supercell's seemingly unusual misstep, given their reputation for creating blockbuster hits.
This award suggests the game's core quality was never in doubt. The gameplay, a compelling blend of battle royale and MOBA elements, appears to have resonated with players. The initial lukewarm reception may have been due to market saturation or player preference for standalone titles rather than a fusion of existing Supercell IPs.
While the discussion continues, this Apple award offers a well-deserved recognition of Supercell's efforts. It's a positive milestone, proving that perseverance can lead to significant success. To explore other notable game releases of the year, check out the Pocket Gamer Awards.
