Epic War 2 by Rapid Advance is a Java-based browser game that has been classified as adware by our research team. We recommend that you remove this application if you do not want your computer screen to be bombarded with various advertisements and commercial offers. The game itself is the real deal; it works as you might expect and can be a lot of fun. However, the advertisements are supplied by third parties, and, therefore, we cannot validate their legitimacy. So, regardless of whether this game is any good or not, we suggest uninstalling it in a timely manner.
This game is disseminated using two methods. The first one is very common for adware. It is featured on a dedicated website, called Epicwar2.com. The second method is using software bundles that are hosted on freeware distributing websites. It is rather odd, however, because the game must be downloaded from its main website, but you can play it without installing it on websites such as Andkon.com and Freewebarcade.com, and possibly some others. The reason why the standalone installer exists is because it installs a program that displays commercial content on your browser. Most likely the installer has nothing to do with the game, because it does not run on the computer as an executable file nor does the game require authentication via a program.
The game’s website states that you may be offered additional content after the installation, but we do not know what that content exactly is. Furthermore, you may be asked whether you want to change your default search engine, homepage, and new tab page. However, we did not get such offers, so we do not know if the promoted website, whatever it is, is reliable. The website also states that you might be shown commercial advertisements, but we did not see any when we tested the application. Maybe the ads do not work anymore. But, if they will in the future, they might be very annoying. So, if you do not want to experience any inconvenience, we recommend that you remove Epic War 2 by Rapid Advance.
So, the game seems to be legitimate. If you like the game, you can play it on various online gaming websites. However, the original website provided by the developers features a download of the game. The game will still need an Internet connection to be played on the browser, and we do not see why Epic War 2 by Rapid Advance should be downloaded. After installing it, an executable constantly runs in the background. We think that its only purpose is to display commercial content, but we did not see any of that. Maybe it does not work, but we cannot say for certain if it is just temporary or permanent. In any case, if you do not want unnecessary applications to run on your computer, then you should remove Epic War 2 by Rapid Advance from your PC.
