There are several female characters in this one (some good, some evil, some peripheral). There's a scene where a mother comforts a young girl, but I wouldn't count that since she's not a "woman". The main character has a brief interaction with Corporal Reed, a mechanic who answers one of her questions about the equipment. There's no ulterior motive here... no introducing foes that will end up competing for the same man in at some point. Just two military personnel interacting like normal people. Neither is over sexualized either.

Reminded me of The Descent and Silent Hill. Full of strong (literally and figuratively) female characters... although this one had a few more post-apocalyptic pole dancers.
