Yes, definitely. For a 2D game on the PC, the engine makes little difference for this kind of game (as long as you avoid Flash. Trust me, I tried). It is mostly about personal preference. When you want to introduce things such as shaders and lighting effects, then it starts requiring a bit more optimisation, and if you make the jump into 3D, then it takes a lot more. The platform does also make a difference, since some engines won't support some platforms, and things like phones do require that extra push.
