Players will assume the character of Vince who, obviously, looks like a voodoo doll clad in stitched up burlap, patches, and a button for an eye. Unsurprisingly, players will have to navigate their way while capitalizing on Vince's "voodoo powers."
When Beep Games, Inc. founder Clayton Kauzlaric announced the remastered release in October 2016, he said in a statement through Xbox Wire: "What's in the new version? It's wide screen now, of course, in glorious 1080p and running at 60fps. The rendering engine is being rewritten from the ground up with lots of crisp new textures and rendering effects. ... The gameplay is mostly untouched, though. ... Vince moves, animates, and controls exactly like he did in 2003. You can just see a lot more detail in his world when he moves through our twisted version of New Orleans and the Bayou."
Since its 2003 release, "Voodoo Vince" has gotten fairly good to average consumer and critics' responses based on ratings aggregator websites like Metacritic and GameRankings. On Metacritic, the game currently has an average of 73 out of 100 ratings based on 38 critics review, while it garnered a 76.87% score at GameRankings.
Aside from Vince, players will encounter other characters such as Madam Charmaine, a woman who owns a voodoo shop at New Orleans' French Quarter. She is the one who created Vince so she maintains a telepathic connection with the game's main protagonist.
Players will also have to deal with enemy Kosmo the Inscrutable, who relentlessly tries to steal Madam Charmaine's powers in order to succeed in his plans of world domination. He is helped by his clownish assistants Jeb and Fingers.
