Games like this?

Are there any RPGs out there like this?

Nice animations (none of that invisible unit at the bottom of the screen nonsense), repeatable dungeons/events for loot, decent story.

Similar game in terms of aesthetics & turn-based combat would probably be EARTHLOCK. Not sure about the repeatable dungeons being a thing or not though.

Alright well only other game similar aesthetics wise might be Legrand Legacy. Though it's battle system has a Shadow Hearts (would love to see that franchise receive an HD Remaster though entirely unlikely to happen) inspired QTE to complete turns.

These don't have anywhere near similar aesthetics, but they're turn-based combat jRPGs or inspired by jRPGs that maybe you've overlooked:

• Grandia II
  
• I am Setsuna
  
• Lost Sphear
  
• The Amber Throne (RPGMaker engine, but it's actually got unique / nice aesthetics)
  
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
  
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

And if you still need to scratch that itch, there are like a dozen KEMCO jRPG mobile to Steam ports that are fairly cheap and fill the gap while waiting for newer better things to appear. Such as Asdivine Hearts, Alphadia Genesis, Antiquia Lost, Dragon Sinker, Revenant Saga, Fernz Gate, Chronus Arc, Revenant Dogma (a loosely connected sequel to Revenant Saga), and the coming soon Asdivine Hearts II.

Graphics-wise I agree, but combat is completely different. Battle Chasers is a turn-based RPG with playback best suited for a controller, while Torchlight is an Action RPG with a combat system that is similar to World of Warcraft and meant to be played with a mouse & keyboard.

ye.. I think Torchlight is more like Victor Vran or something in that regard, it's not Battle Chasers.

Haven't you got like all the games haha

The only one I was going to say take a look at which you haven't got is Slay the Spire, which is a rogue-like "card" game with the turn based combat. The graphics are quite charming. It is still in Early Access I believe but might be worth keeping an eye on anyway or watching some game-play. I'm not sure there's much of a story to it though.. at least.

Basically you choose are rather linear route from point to point from the bottom to the top of the "map" - similar to Faster Than Light - and there will either be a fight, event, or shop / place to rest something like that at each one. Cards are collected along the way which are drawn randomly and as far as I understand new cards discovered will be in your deck for the next run as well. Hence the rougue-like

Definietly Grandia 2 (and 3 if you have PS2 or use emulator). No repeatable dungeons, but you can go back to some previously visited areas.
