Even though it is a short game and have puzzles with low complexity, Adventures of Bertram Fiddle has a unique cartoon look and refined humor, engaging the player well and making him anxious for the next episode. The game flows well in the command-execution aspect, both in the in the dock and portable mode, something that several point-and-clicks do not have.
The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1: A Dreadly Business is a breath of fresh air in the point-and-click genre, bringing with it fantastic art work and excellent voice acting, along with tough-but-not-overly-so puzzles, a wonderfully intuitive inventory and control system, as well as bucket-loads of charm and personality. Spiffingly good work, ol' chap!

The story is a humorous one even if not every joke lands as intended and the puzzles need a little more breadth in approach, but the start of these new Adventurings are promising.
Overall, The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle plays well on the Switch and is a wonderful little entry point into the genre made popular by games like The Secret of Monkey Island and Day of the Tenticle. The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle isn’t quite as epic or hilarious as those two gems, but it has its moments.
The game leave a bittersweet taste on the palate. His script is too simple and as a graphic adventure it constantly stumbles. With the exception of Bertram, its characters are insipid and uninspired, and even so, the story of this episode manages to withstand with the stability of a noodle.
Summary The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle is a traditional 2D point and click adventure game that mixes the classic formula up with riveting action elements all weaved together lovingly by Rumpus Animation.
