Memory and Storage are 2 different things. The Lumia 520 has only 512 MB of RAM and there are many apps that require 1 GB. RAM provides space for processing tasks while you are using the app; storage is like the hard drive on a computer, where files are stored, waiting to be called up to use RAM.
I have Asphalt 8 on my Lumia 920, but my daughter is the real Asphalt 8 junky. It would be my guess that the intense graphics and the speed at which scenery changes would definitely require some RAM. I noticed in the reviews for it in the WP App Store that others have also been unable to install it on a Lumia 520.
Reviewers in the Six Guns listing do indicate they are running it on the L520, so that one should be do-able. Since it is an XBox game, your stats may be stored in the cloud, but you might need to uninstall/reinstall that one, possibly losing all your stats (yeah, that sucks). If you decide to do that, I'd recommend uninstalling, restarting phone, then going to Storage Sense > Temp Files and clearing those before reinstalling.
