Some quick calculations based on what I've seen of the game.
120kb for 3 screen buffers
100kb for audio (music/sfx)
40kb for tile sets
10kb for tile map
100kb for code.
100kb for sprites
470kb ish...
with 512kb slow ram you could probably afford to make the scrolling less complex which would likely be your biggest hurdle.
Get the scrolling right, then build a sprite engine and you'd be just about there. I can't see how going AGA will help you that much.
Let me know i fyou want to bounce ideas off me though and good luck with your project for sure!

I've got all the sprite sheets, and for level 1, I'd say probably around 200k for all the sprites (with L/R facing versions where necessary... Orcs and Skeletons etc.. with mask data)
Tileset gfx would be around 60-70k for level 1 in 5 bitplanes, and 17k of Tilemap data
