In ''Gobliiins'', the player controls a team of three different goblins, each with a unique skill. The first goblin, Asgard (BoBo in the US release), is a warrior who is more brawn than brain, and whose skill is punching, causing various things to break or fall over. He is also the only one who can climb other objects than stairs and ladders. The second goblin, Ignatius (US: Hooter), is a [[magic (supernatural)|magician]] who can "zap" things with magic with a wide variety of usually unexpected effects, which include objects moving, growing, or coming alive. The third, Oups (US: Dwayne), is a [[technician]] and is the only one of the three that can pick up and use items.<ref name="MobyGamesGobliiins">{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-st/gobliiins |title=''Gobliiins'' |access-date=2009-02-12 |work=[[MobyGames]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228044614/http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-st/gobliiins |archive-date=28 February 2008}}</ref>

The story follows the three goblins as they attempt to aid their king, who has gone insane under mysterious circumstances. They meet with the wizard Niak, who informs them he can cure the king's madness if they bring him three items. However, upon obtaining the items, Niak is revealed to be the one behind the king's insanity and manipulated the goblins into performing his bidding. The goblins manage to escape from Niak's lair, save the king by destroying the voodoo doll used to drive him insane, and defeat Niak while he is creating deadly potions.

The game is linear and consists of 22 levels, each of which occupies a single screen. The puzzles on each level must be successfully solved in order to progress to the next.<ref name="MobyGamesGobliiins" />

Several actions may harm the goblin involved, including leaving them in an unsafe place, using incorrect items, or interacting with items with the wrong characters, thus reducing their shared life meter. When the meter runs out, the game ends in defeat (though all levels can be completed without loss of life).
