With the recent release of NieR Automata, one of my friends expressed interest for playing a tabletop game set in the Drakengard/NieR universe. Are there any sort of homebrew systems for it already made? I looked into it, but couldn't find any. What sort of system would fit best for an adaptation?

Try GURPS, you can download the lite version of the rules for free.

A Drakengard/NieR game would be less about the system and more about how well the DM can throw players off.

Depends on if you want NieR or Drakengard. Cause Nier is post-apocalyptic magitech, while Drakengard is Berserk esque dark fantasy

I'd say they'd probably prefer a game similar to NieR rather than Drakengard.

This.
Drakengard can work with just about any RPG system, but it's largely up to the DM to give that sense of madness, anxiety, and reversal of tropes that the games go for.
A good first step would be to get the soundtrack for the one you're going to be drawing from the most and utilizing that during play if possible.

I'd suggest playing the soundtrack at full volume on every available device simultaneously.

Out.

Buddy, fuck off. I'm not claiming it was a good game, I'm posting every version of a song with three variants.

I. HEAR. A. SOUND.

An addendum, happiness should be fleeting, and the victories often Pyrrhic.

You only need two things. A GM willing to hurt his players, and players willing to take it in good fun.

Or players held against their will.
Seriously, drugging them all and tying them up would really help make the game feel right.

Gotta include the random genre switches.

I'm playing automata right now and holy shit the genre shifts are still amazing.
