Whether you *need* to use a game engine will depend on what features you need. If Max2D does all you need, you don't need to use one. If it doesn't, you do. That's as specific as I can be without knowing your requirements from a 2d graphics module. If I had to give a broad answer, I'd say you probably don't need one. Most people manage without.
