Centuria and Sensou Kyoushitsu (The Bugle Call) have an art style and worldbuilding more in common with history inspired manga like vinland saga than what you would expect of a medieval fantasy setting. Similar themes of violence, life purpose and freedom. 

Sensou Kyoushitu (the Bugle Call) and Record of Highserk War have a similar style of medieval fantasy grounded in actual medieval battle tactics with strategic use of magic/special abilities. The worldbuilding share similar elements as well, with fictional countries at war in a medival europe like setting. 

this has to be so far the ONLY thing with actual similarity in terms of feel to world trigger. most of the other recommendations are really stretching it. as world trigger is quite unique in this regard. however Sensou Kyoushitsu or "the bungle call" in my opinion is the sore similar manga to world trigger. despite their difference in setting (one in medieval times and one in modern day) they both share a ton of similarities. for starters both protagonists are physically weak and can't really fight, and both of them join some kind of organization that is currently fighting against invaders. both of their systems have these kind of unique powers and abilities with a lot of tactics behind them, and there are barely any individual fights like in normal shounen, all the battles are large in scale with teams fighting other teams using tactics to exploit their weakness. in this sense they are both similar to sports anime if you think about it, except there isn't any of the "friendship" power bullshit. most of the time they use tactics to win, both protagonists use their brain over braun and command over their team to win large scale battles. also eventually after getting attacked for so long their team eventually starts taking the offensive and the newer arc is about them advancing to enemy territory. also like a sports series both of them have interesting characters that often have backstories related to why they are fighting or within the organization etc and the protagonist has to mediate between different characters. nether protagonists are strong or talented instead having to use tactics to win. both manga feel like playing some rts or esports war game, where its like a team sport with the protagonist being like a commander. the start might be very different but eventually they start becoming similar later on. most of the other recommendations only have similar aesthetics but not similar feel or premise  read more
