I am sure you could do it, but the specs look like you would get a worse experience than the OG Doom experience from the early to mid 90s.

The base-level kit was "so bad, it's basically disposable" he said, consisting of a 24MHz Cortex M0+ chip, 24KB of flash storage and just 3KB of static RAM, but it was still workable.

The 3K RAM in particular sounds like a borderline deal-breaker and you would have to replace the 24KB flash storage with something larger.
