Similar. I love Hoplite as well. I was reading this review and it was making the comparison to Hoplite: http://toucharcade.com/2015/02/18/auro-a-monster-bumping-adv...

In general, if you like Hoplite, try to pay attention to the roguelike genre. Hoplite and 868-HACK both started as entries into the 2013 Seven Day Roguelike challenge (which was my first time entering). You're bound to find more stuff you like there. http://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/
