Play Goblins 3 Online

Goblins 3 is a puzzle adventure game released in 1993 for MS-DOS. Developed by Coktel Vision and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., it is the third title in the fantasy-themed Gobliiins series. The game presents its story and environments from a side view perspective.

Players control a goblin reporter named Blount, who becomes involved in a conflict between two kingdoms over a mysterious labyrinth. The core objective is to navigate through a series of levels, each acting as a self-contained puzzle scenario. Progression involves interacting with the environment, collecting items, and using them in logical sequences to solve challenges. Unlike earlier series entries, the player directly commands only Blount, though assistance is periodically provided by other characters like a parrot, a magician, and a snake, which the player can also direct to overcome specific obstacles.

The gameplay is structured around complex problem-solving within confined multi-screen areas. A key mechanic is Blount's involuntary transformation into a werewolf, which alters his abilities and can be essential for solving certain puzzles. Throughout the adventure, the character also undergoes other mutations and significant changes in size, which directly influence puzzle solutions. The focus remains on deciphering the cause-and-effect relationships within each stage to advance the narrative, which involves royal intrigue, a cursed king, and Blount's own personal dilemmas.
