'Squad Busters' Triumphs with 'iPad Game of the Year'

by Henry Dec 19,2024

Supercell's Squad Busters Wins Apple's 2024 iPad Game of the Year Award

Despite a rocky start, Supercell's Squad Busters has achieved significant success, culminating in a prestigious award. The game has been named the 2024 Apple Award winner for iPad Game of the Year, joining fellow winners Balatro+ (Apple Arcade Game of the Year) and AFK Journey (iPhone Game of the Year).

Squad Busters' initial launch was underwhelming for Supercell, a surprising outcome given the company's history and the rarity of a global launch for a new title. However, the game has since gained traction and popularity.

A Successful Turnaround

The initial struggles of Squad Busters sparked considerable discussion. Many questioned Supercell's seemingly unusual misstep after their commitment to creating billion-dollar hits. This Apple award suggests the game's quality wasn't the issue. The game's blend of battle royale and MOBA elements is solid, but perhaps the market wasn't ready for a fusion of Supercell's established IPs.

While the debate continues, this award provides Supercell with well-deserved recognition for their perseverance and dedication. It serves as a testament to their hard work and commitment to the game's improvement. For those interested in comparing this win to other gaming accolades, a look at the Pocket Gamer Awards is recommended.
