Richard Savage reviewed the game for ''Computer Gaming World'', and stated that "I just hope that, unlike the real Korean conflict, this game doesn't become the 'Forgotten game.' ''Conflict: Korea'' deserves better fate than it has received so far. Check it out."<ref name="CGW98">{{cite magazine |last=Savage |first=Richard |title=Forgotten War--Forgotten Game?: Strategic Simulations, Inc.'s Conflict: Korea |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=September 1992 |volume=1 |issue=98 |pages=120, 122}}</ref>

Brad Burton for ''Amiga Action'' said that this game has "the same wargame format as other SSI games, the same control method and graphics. It really is time for change."<ref name=":0" />

The reviewer from ''Amiga Format'' lamented that eventually there would be no more wars to base strategy games on, but "SSI still manage to dig up new battles".<ref name=":1" />
