Steam is hosting a Pirates vs. Ninjas Fest this week and weekend, reigniting a fun, manufactured rivalry in historical geekdom.

Or maybe it’s just an excuse to put some fun PC games on sale.

Players can save on dozens of games that feature pirates or ninjas, including Sea of Thieves, Ghostrunner 2, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.

It’s a great time to grab two amazing stealth-tactics game by the same developer: Shadow Tactics, and Shadow Gambit.

Here are some notable highlights:

Sea of Thieves (50% off) $19.99

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (33% off) $16.74

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (40% off) $17.99

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew (20% off) $31.99

Ghostrunner (60% off) $8.99

Ghostrunner 2 (50% off) $34.99)

Pillars of Eternity 2: Dreadfire (75% off) $9.99

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (90% off) $3.99

The Messenger (75% off) $4.99

Return to Monkey Island (40% off) $14.99

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered (60% off) $7.99

Weirdly, two of the higher budget, most popular games starring pirates and ninjas, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, are not part of the sale. Huh.

Steam users can also nab a pair of animated avatars, one pirate and one ninja, to display their allegiance, as well as an animated sticker. Just click on the Point Shop Collection banner and redeem them for free.

The Pirates vs Ninjas Fest ends January 29.
