It's Kusoge Week, to be followed by Golden Week and then Golden Turd Week.

Things we missed last week: Teslagrad Remastered, Teslagrad 2, Shadows over Loathing, and Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach as an Indie World hit outta nowhere.

This week presents a high quantity of releases (currently 45 in North America), though the quality of same is HIGHLY questionable. (Consider the existence of a game for whom a colleague at another site was cold-emailed the code for the sequel by their late editor, he got to the redemption screen and immediately replied with 'Nice try'. That was, for the record, Mugen Souls.) In terms of things that look interesting, we have the mana-like Trinity Trigger (complete with three-player support), and the action RPG Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord.

Smaller items in the downloads include two games with NA price TBD (Desta: The Memories Between and House of Indies star Afterimage), an early start with another awaited indie title in Smile for Me, and a bit more puzzling in Picross S9 as the Switch passes the 3DS in terms of "sheer amount of unbranded Picross". There's also a sequel to an Archives hit in Magical Drop VI (published by Forever Entertainment, so hopefully they crank this and Front Mission 3 out so they can go back to Panzer Dragoons Zwei and Saga), and... unfortunately, a cloud streaming game. For less ownership but also more playability, Omega Strikers (last seen in February's DIrect) drops this week.
