Definitely get the same flavor from the Maoyu archetypes but now even more comedic because they take the settings and integrate them into the character backgrounds which then get thrown into a new world instead resulting in hilarious moments and situations. Demon king and hero again, with the use of magic but now in the modern world.

Though took place in different timelines, both series featured a hero working together with a demon lord. The heroes are a bit hesitant at first, but later warms up to the demon lord as the story progresses. Both stories are also light-hearted with comedies mixed in it.
In both series, there's a similar feeling and the main male character seems to have similar personalities.
There is some sense of supernatural themes but mostly presented in a fun way. With that, there's the comedy and humorous dialogues thrown together.
Although the settings are a bit different, Maoyu and Hataraku Maou-sama! maintains a similar background involving shaping a world (although in different ways).
It has the same kind of character development around Hero, Satan, and friends.
These anime's rely heavily on comedy and pulls it off quite well.
The art is appealing and characters are appealing. The subtle plot twists make them worth watching.

Most notable similarities: Demon king, and Hero.
Hataraku instead has a male demon king/lord/whatever and has a female lead hero/tsundere/whatnot. But a notable difference is that there is no romance between the to leads (at the moment). Beginning seems kind of rushed compared to the manga (same with Maoyuu) but can be quite enjoyable nonetheless.

The two have the same demon to human kind of relationship except one was set in some alternate middle ages setting, while the other was set in modern times. Another differences, the head demon from one anime was a woman, while in the other is a teenage boy, though he's actually older than one thinks.

Both have a hero, both have a demon king (although it is reversed in Maoyuu).
In both we see that the hero (Yuusha) goes to the demon/devil king to destroy them, but instead the hero ends up cooperating one way or another because of different circumstances.
Hataraku is like Maoyuu, just set in modern times with less politics and more comedy.
The hero tries to destroy the demon lord but discovered that the demon lord isn't that bad and they eventually team up. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha leaned more towards the romantic side though.
If you like romance between demons or demon and human, then these two are must watch. Maou sama is light hearted and more comic but no ecchi but Maou Yuusha has very serious tone, economics related and have many ecchi moments too. Maou sama has human world where demon/god are trying to adjust themselves so that they can live properly. In the other hand Maou Yuusha is placed in ancient time and full of politics.
Contains demons from another realm inhabiting a particular region in the world and coexisting with humans. Both demons and humans alike detest each other because humans see the demons as evil beings and kill them and demons see humans as evil because they get killed without a valid reason, until they blame each other for apocryphal reasons.
Magic can be used for combat and contains an overpowered MC.

Okay, this is dead obvious. I mean, it's like the Hero and the Demon King just swapped bodies!
Maou looks a lot like the Hero from Maoyuu and Emi looks a lot like the Demon King. And Ente Isla just has the same vibes as the world Maoyuu is set in. It has the same political turmoil and everything. Overall, besides a lot of very obvious similarities, these two shows just FEEL alike.
