Supercell's Squad Busters Wins Apple's 2024 iPad Game of the Year Award
Despite a rocky start, Supercell's Squad Busters has triumphed, winning the prestigious 2024 Apple Award for iPad Game of the Year. This accolade places it alongside other award winners, Balatro+ and AFK Journey, highlighting its resurgence in the gaming world.
Squad Busters' initial launch was underwhelming for Supercell, a surprising setback given the company's history and careful selection process. However, the game has since gained traction and critical acclaim. The Apple Award serves as significant validation of Supercell's decision to persevere with the title.
AFK Journey (iPhone Game of the Year) and Balatro+ (Apple Arcade Game of the Year) also received top honors at the 2024 Apple App Store Awards.
A Comeback Story
Squad Busters' initial struggles sparked considerable discussion within the gaming community. Many questioned Supercell's seemingly unusual misstep, given their track record of success.
This award suggests the game's quality wasn't the issue. The blend of battle royale and MOBA elements felt well-executed. However, the reception might indicate that a fusion of Supercell's established IPs wasn't what players desired at that time.
While the debate continues, this award represents a significant achievement for Supercell, acknowledging their dedication and hard work. It's a well-deserved recognition of their perseverance.
