From the review:

Those of you who’ve heard anything of PC gaming in Korea have doubtless heard of that country’s fascination with StarCraft and competitive MMO games. Characterized by a large number of players in one arena, fierce rivalries where the quick-thinking win, and of course, micromanagement by the heaps. As a game initially designed for the Korean market, Navy Field definitely hits on all three of those points. Otherwise, it’s hard to characterize what Navy Field is in terms of genre – it definitely stands in a category of its own. It could possibly be described as ‘Massively-Multiplayer Real-Time 2-D 3rd-Person World War II “Battleship” (yes, the paper game) Action Simulation’. In a nutshell, there are two main parts to the game. The first is the harbor, where you equip, upgrade and tweak your ship for combat. The second is the combat itself where you use that ship to fight in a team against other players, earning points and experience for your crew which will allow you to get better stuff and better ships. With four nations, six classes, and dozens of ship types to choose from, you get about as much variety as World War II fleet combat has to offer.

Pretty easy, eh? No doubt Mystery Subsim #44 will be coming soon, just you wait and see.
