Небольшой и достаточно простой AoS, но это нисколько не уменьшает его интересности. Восемнадцать героев с каждой стороны двух воюющих кланов West и East. Приличное количество артефактов. Можно улучшать здания и криппов. Интересная особенность с вышками, на месте разрушенной вами вражеской башни, немедленно появляется башня вашего клана. Так же необычно решение с навыками героя. Вы покупаете и улучшаете свои навыки за золото и древесину, выбор из десяти навыков для каждого героя. Возможна игра командами 5х5. Без поддержки AI.

::Special Features::
- Skill Crafting; this system combines the element of a Hero Craft map into an AoS. None of skills can be learned through gaining levels. Use your gold to purchase them from the Skillmasters (you can find them at the Circle of Power in your base). Since your hero has 7 unused spaces for skill icons, you can have the maximum of 6 types of normal skill and 1 ultimate skill. Arrange your class out depending on what's going on in the game.
- 1 BIG LANE; this system prevents players from keep disappearing from the lane and gang-backdooring the enemies, losing what 'AoS' style map used to have at the beginning, 'Pushing.' Swords and Scepters has this feature to protect what an AoS map should be like.
- Tower Capturing; following a 1 Big Lane, this Tower Capturing system has been added to make the pusing goes on. Every time a tower has been destroyed, it will be recreated instantly, but for the enemy instead.
- Lumber system; a lot of items, creeps, tomes, including Ultimate skills require lumbers which can be traded by 75 gold for 1 lumber, or 1 lumber for 50 gold. Every time your hero has gained a level, you will automatically recieve a lumber. This system grants player more decision on what to buy without that many selections of item since players have to decide how many lumbers they need to spend on what and when.
- Item Forging; Swords and Scepters does not have many choices of item, but only the basic equipments that focus the best on thier functions; Sword, Shield, Boots, Gloves, Necklace, and Pendant. All of these equipments can be forged to the maximum of 8 levels using lumbers.
