Gameplay

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."[1]

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."[2]

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".[3]
