The alien world of Mer is a little more advanced than ours, and despite being in a multifront Cold War, the world has been in a tenuous, very prosperous peace for decades. However, evil factions have targeted innocent people, so the governments of the world will meet their demands.
The Cultists have created a Hell Mouth under the city of Valykar, one of the largest cities in the world, and unleashed a living Hell on the unsuspecting citizens.
Your Isekai'd protagonists have been brought to one of the only safe bastions in Valykar to help the local resistance and armed services, seal The Hell Mouth and eradicate the demons.
The technology is decades more advanced than on our own real life Earth. Invisibility cloaks, laser and plasma weapons, and power armors all exist, as does Human cloning, and the life span of Humanity is no longer a measly 70-120 years, since medical advancements allow for effective telemere therapy, enhancing our longevity by several decades. Now, 120 or even longer is the norm. Advanced cybernetics and the like are in vogue for people that have some unusual problem where their body can't be fixed by the medical science of the day, such as censors in the eye that allow for superhuman perception, scanning someone els'es body for heart rate, diseases, or even if they're lying or not.
Faster than light travel is not possible yet, but there are rumors that they are working on it. Sea steading has taken off and been in vogue for the past thirty years, and there are some under sea settlements that house many thousands of residents, and the world has successfully been transitioned into arcology habitats. These arcologies allow for cities that are hyper dense with minimal impact on the surrounding ecologies. Lastly, there are more advanced technologies even than these wonders, but they are guarded secrets.
Valykar is an ancient city that combines the old with the new. Just outside the old city are the arcologies allowing for hyper dense populations, while the rich and affluent inhabit the old spaces, and sometimes even the subterranean homes down below. Fortunately, though the poor and homeless are still around, such a predicament of being homeless and impoverished is very rare.
Culturally, there are problems in Valykar and everywhere else, just as nowhere is perfect in the real world. Life is so good in Valykar that people basically say "If you don't think things are perfect, then you're insane". It is discouraged to talk openly about problems in Le'ondar, for fear of being seen as unstable, subversive, irresponsible or unappreciative and spoiled.
One of these problems is the strain on the world's energy forces. There are generators that harvest the life force of Mer very slowly. Some people try to warn against the inevitable problems that can occur if they don't replace their means of providing energy, though out of greed, the Corporations refuse to comply.
There are Cults, as a result that have arisen as a response to this Corporate greed, though their solution is out right evil. They have made pacts with The Daemon Lords, and Their mission is to cull the "excess population" of Valykar and all cities until there's almost no one left. The local religions and The Church are all against these Cults and the Megacorporations, but the local political leaders limit their ability to oppose them.
Previously to the mass murders or Valykar from the demons pouring through The Hell Mouth, there were fifty million people inhabiting the city. Almost everyone was slaughtered or suffered a fate worse than death, but Valykar's police forces, and armed forces worked hard and heroically to save the local inhabitants, and there are still around six million residents left.
The primary Cult responsible for the decimation of Valykar call themselves, "The Avengers Of Mer". Though there are other rivals to these Mega Cores, most of them are religious institutions of various kinds.
